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.

Fortanix Adds File System Encryption to Data Security Manager, Bolstering Full-Stack Data Security

Unified Data Security Platform Now Supports Encryption at All Layers: Application, Database, File System and Storage

Fortanix® Inc., a leader in data-first cybersecurity and pioneer of Confidential Computing, today announced a major enhancement to its Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM): File System Encryption. This new feature complements full disk encryption with the ability to protect individual file systems on specified hosts through encryption, governed by granular decryption policies. Available immediately, this addition ensures that Fortanix’s unified data security platform now supports encryption across all layers, including application, database, storage, and file system. Fortanix Data Security Manager thus becomes a comprehensive solution for enterprises, facilitating the reduction of crypto islands within their technology stacks.

Organizations frequently encounter scenarios where different user groups require access to distinct parts of an overall database. Moreover, many popular databases, such as MongoDB Community Edition, lack native support for transparent database encryption. Fortanix File System Encryption addresses these challenges by enabling encryption management at the file system level without disrupting IT administrative activities like replication, backup, migration, or snapshots. The solution's fine-grained controls also precisely define the administrative access granted to users.

Unlike competing solutions, Fortanix File System Encryption operates at the OS layer rather than the kernel layer. This approach simplifies deployment and daily operations, eliminating issues related to kernel dependencies. Enterprises can automate deployments seamlessly using tools like Rundeck, making the process as straightforward as other agent-based deployments. Importantly, this is achieved without compromising security.

"As data security becomes increasingly complex, offering organizations the ability to manage encryption across all levels through a unified platform creates huge value," said Anuj Jaiswal, vice president of products at Fortanix. "The addition of Fortanix File System Encryption to our already robust Data Security Manager offering gives enterprises a one-stop shop for all of their encryption and data security needs."

By leveraging Fortanix File System Encryption, organizations can:

  • Level up data security: Seamlessly set up and manage agents to encrypt individual file systems mounted on host machines. Easily scale agent deployments, which are based on open policy agent specification and have no kernel dependencies.
  • Fully control access policies: Apply granular policy-based decryption so only authorized users and processes can access plaintext data.
  • Efficiently manage encryption keys: Centralize lifecycle management of all encryption keys while storing them in natively integrated FIPS-140-2 Level 3 HSM, available as SaaS or on-premises. Prevent involuntary or malicious key deletion with quorum approvals.

Data Security Manager is a part of Fortanix Armor, a unified platform for consolidated data security services built on Confidential Computing. The addition of File System Encryption to Fortanix Data Security Manager delivers security with simplicity, offering granular encryption policy management with minimal maintenance. Scalable SaaS deployment allows for cost-effective scaling tailored to specific needs, providing flexibility and efficiency as businesses grow.
