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.

Bluefin Recognized for Financial Transaction Security Innovation in 2024 FinTech Breakthrough Awards Program

By: via Business Wire

Prestigious Annual Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Financial Technology Products And Companies Around the World

Bluefin, the integrated payments pioneer in PCI-validated Point-to-Point (P2PE) encryption and tokenization services that protect payments and sensitive data, today announced that it has selected as winner of the “Best Financial Transaction Security Platform” award in the 8th annual FinTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by FinTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global FinTech market today.

Bluefin’s integrated payment and data security technologies include PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) for retail, call center, mobile and unattended payments, as well as the ShieldConex® data security platform that protects personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI) and payment data entered online.

ShieldConex is cloud-based and utilizes both hardware-based encryption and vaultless tokenization technology to help organizations meet data security compliance standards and secure customer data. ShieldConex immediately masks sensitive data upon entry through Bluefin’s iFrame or APIs, ensuring that it never travels through a system or network as clear text. Recent upgrades detokenizes data in real-time and forwards it to any processor for authorization.

“With more data and payment security regulations, organizations face a complex environment in protecting data upon entry and in storage,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, FinTech Breakthrough. “ShieldConex addresses these complexities head-on, bringing ease and security to the payment space by helping organizations protect customer payment data throughout the entire customer journey. By combining universal tokenization with its existing ShieldConex® and Decryptx® solutions, Bluefin is solving the complex payment and data security needs of Tier-1 merchants. We extend our sincere congratulations to the entire BlueFin team for a well-deserved 2024 FinTech Breakthrough Award win.”

The FinTech Breakthrough Awards is the premier awards program founded to recognize the FinTech innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the world in a range of categories, including Digital Banking, Personal Finance, Lending, Payments, Investments, RegTech, InsurTech and many more.

“Bluefin has an unwavering commitment to helping brands keep their data secure and their customers happy as the threat landscape evolves. By using our technology to hide sensitive data, we can essentially devalue payment data and make it useless to hackers if a data breach occurs,” said Tim Barnett, CIO of Bluefin. “We’re thrilled to receive FinTech Breakthroughs’ ‘Best Financial Transaction Security Platform’ award and will continue to deploy a mix of breakthrough encryption and tokenization technologies to secure payments and data neutralizing the intent of hackers.”

The ShieldConex platform takes the information in an organization's databases, files and applications after a customer completes a form, and replaces it with randomly generated characters, or “tokens”, that serve as placeholders. Additionally, data remains encrypted while the payment occurs, so a shopper’s cleartext card data never even enters the merchant’s systems. ShieldConex helps protect customer data at all times - mid-transaction, at rest or actively in use.

ShieldConex can be implemented using an API and through a Bluefin-hosted iFrame for an extra layer of protection. Merchants, and their partners, are not required to have PCI, PII or PHI data on their networks or systems, or required to have on-premise implementation timelines.
