About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Davos 2024: Global Cyber Risk and GDP Closely Linked, New SecurityScorecard Research Reveals

News summary

  • Ten threat actor groups fuel 44% of global cyber incidents
  • 24% of cyber incidents originate from China, with Russia accounting for 15%
  • SecurityScorecard threat hunters analyze 6.3 million organizations across 189 countries

SecurityScorecard, a global leader in Security Ratings, released the world’s first Cyber Resilience Scorecard at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. The Cyber Resilience Scorecard provides an unprecedented view of global cybersecurity risk, arming leaders with data-driven insights to safeguard the world’s economies.

Key findings include:

  • Cyber risk vs. GDP: Economic prosperity improves cybersecurity



    The study identified a strong correlation between a country's cyber risk exposure and GDP. The data underscores that a nation's economic prosperity is deeply intertwined with its ability to navigate the complex landscape of cyber threats.

  • Top 10 threat actor groups: The adversaries behind 44% of incidents



    The same 10 threat actor groups are behind 44% of worldwide cyber incidents, including notable names like Cobalt Group, Sandworm Team, and the notorious АРТ28 hacking group, also known as Pawn Storm, Fancy Bear, and BlueDelta.

  • Geopolitical hotspots: Operational infrastructure concentrated in China and Russia



    Threat groups operate globally, but their operational infrastructure is concentrated in some countries more than others, with 24% originating from China and the Russian Federation accounting for 15%. These insights shed light on the geopolitical dimensions of cyber conflict.

  • High-risk sectors: Tech titans in the crosshairs



    Information services and technology industries experienced the majority of cyber incidents, closely followed by critical infrastructure, including telecommunications, financial services, and government. This concentration of risk emphasizes the importance of collaborative cyber risk management, as these high-risk sectors face and contribute to rapidly increasing cyber risk.

  • Interconnected supply chain risk: Navigating a complex matrix



    The intricate interdependence among various industries within the supply chain further complicates the cybersecurity landscape. As cited by the new SEC cybersecurity incident disclosure requirements, SecurityScorecard research found that 98% of organizations use a third party that has been breached.

Rob Knake, former Deputy National Cyber Director in the United States, noted: “Policymakers globally need to find new methods to assess national resilience and evaluate if policies and programs enhance cyber resilience. You can’t manage what you don’t measure. This inaugural Global Cyber Resilience Scorecard provides a groundbreaking benchmark that global leaders can use to continuously assess cyber defense efforts and communicate clearly with global stakeholders in understandable terms.”

Cybersecurity transparency builds resilience

According to Gartner,® “transparency delivers a 53% improvement in third-party cyber risk management effectiveness.”1 Similar to credit ratings, Security Ratings provide global leaders with a shared framework for cybersecurity risk management. Notably, organizations with an F rating are 7.7 times more likely to experience a breach than their A-rated counterparts.

Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy, CEO and Co-Founder, SecurityScorecard, stated: “Progress starts with precise measurement. And until recently, cybersecurity lacked effective measurement. As the World Economic Forum convenes to address the imperative of rebuilding trust, Security Ratings arm global leaders with a universal language to be relentlessly data-driven in managing cybersecurity risk. By establishing clear KPIs, we can enhance cyber resilience, ultimately renewing trust in our digital ecosystem.”

Methodology

The Cyber Resilience Scorecard was created by analyzing cybersecurity scores for 6.3 million entities in 189 countries across 17 regions worldwide. SecurityScorecard continuously updates Security Ratings for over 12 million entities, monitoring 250+ cybersecurity signals. Data scientists correlated the 6.3 million cybersecurity scores with the International Monetary Fund 2022 GDP per capita data to assess the cyber risk and economic correlation.
