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.

VulnCheck Adds Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) Data to its NVD++ Service to Improve Vulnerability Prioritization

By: via Business Wire

Latest Update to Community Tier Offering Fills Information Gap and Reduces Industry’s Dependence on NIST NVD for Context on Vulnerable Software, Applications and Systems

VulnCheck, the exploit intelligence company, today announced it is enhancing its Community Tier service, NVD++, with Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data currently missing from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Vulnerability Database (NVD). By enriching NVD++ with CPE data, VulnCheck is helping solve an industry-wide issue, enabling defenders to identify vulnerable assets for newly published Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in the NVD.

CPE data plays a crucial role in vulnerability management by providing a standardized method for identifying and documenting software applications, operating systems, and hardware components. VulnCheck’s initial release of CPE enrichment in NVD++ will close the gap by close to half of the current CVEs missing critical CPE data, starting with the majority of the highest prevalence vendors and products where vulnerability management teams lack the data to measure local exposure.

The source data VulnCheck used to produce “known vulnerable configurations” containing CPEs in NVD++ is the same used by NIST. VulnCheck’s research team is investigating additional sources and prioritizing accuracy over quick coverage to expand CPE correlation in the coming weeks.

"Mapping software components to existing and new vulnerabilities is paramount for every cybersecurity company, product, and practitioner,” said Dmitry Raidman, CTO at Cybeats. “Many platforms and workflows globally rely on the existence of Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) records for every published vulnerability to determine which software and software versions are affected. It is great to see VulnCheck supporting the broader cybersecurity community by addressing the information gap, which helps continue vulnerability mapping for the industry."

Adding the missing CPE data to NVD++ enables teams to correlate OS / software packages, applications, devices and other assets with vulnerabilities to measure their exposure and prioritize response. The enhanced Community tier service provides practitioners with a stable alternative to the NVD that operates at the speed of business.

“The NIST NVD is a best-effort tool from the government and a foundation for vulnerability management,” said Anthony Bettini, founder and CEO at VulnCheck. “However, given ongoing reliability issues, we’re taking another step toward solving important challenges for our Community tier members. With CPE data, VulnCheck NVD++ now offers the missing link between vulnerabilities and impacted systems.”

VulnCheck first unveiled NVD++ on March 13, 2024. The Community tier service provides members with a reliable, high-performance source of NVD 2.0 and 1.0 CVE data via API or downloadable JSON files.
