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.

New Fastly Threat Research Reveals 91% of Cyberattacks Targeted Multiple Organizations Using Mass Scanning to Uncover and Exploit Vulnerabilities

By: via Business Wire

Additional findings show unwanted bots, short-lived IP addresses and out-of-band domains used by adversaries to commit cybercrime and avoid detection

Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), a leader in global edge cloud platforms, today released the “Fastly Threat Insights Report,” which found 91% of cyberattacks – up from 69% in 2023 – targeted multiple customers using mass scanning techniques to uncover and exploit software vulnerabilities, revealing an alarming trend in attacks spreading across a broader target base. This new report provides the latest attack trends and techniques across the web application and API security landscape.

The Fastly Threat Insights Report builds on the 2023 “Fastly Network Effect Threat Report,” and is based on data collected April 11 to June 30, 2024 from Fastly’s Network Learning Exchange (NLX), the collective threat intelligence feed for Fastly’s Next-Gen WAF, and Out-of-Band (OOB) Domains as well as traffic signaled by Fastly Bot Management from April 1 to June 30, 2024. Fastly’s Next-Gen WAF protects over 90,000 apps and APIs1 and inspects ~5.5 trillion requests per month2 across some of the world’s largest e-commerce, streaming, media and entertainment, financial services, and technology companies.

Among the report’s key findings:

  • Adversaries performing mass scanning: 91% of attacks originating from NLX sources targeted multiple customers; 19% targeted over 100 different customers. This is a significant increase from Q2 2023 insights, where 69% of NLX sources targeted multiple customers.
  • Bots comprise more than one-third of Internet traffic: A significant amount of global internet traffic is attributed to requests generated by automation tools; approximately 36% of traffic originated from bots, while the remaining 64% came from human users.
  • Dramatic increase in usage of out-of-band domains to actively exploit three WordPress Plugin CVEs (CVE-2024-2194, CVE-2023-6961, and CVE-2023-40000). Seven out-of-band domains were used to inject malicious content, install backdoors, and track infected applications.
  • Short-lived IP addresses help attackers evade detection: 49% of IP addresses added to NLX were listed for just one day, with the average duration being 3.5 days. Attackers use IPs for a short period to avoid detection, highlighting the importance of adaptive security controls that can mitigate varied threats.
  • High Tech remains top industry targeted, accounting for 37% of attacks, although slightly down from last year at 46%. Other top industries for 2024 include Media & Entertainment (21%) and Financial Services (17%).

“By performing mass scanning, attackers increase the likelihood of discovering vulnerable systems. The more targets scanned, the higher the probability of finding at least one exploitable weakness,” said Fastly Staff Security Researcher Simran Khalsa. “It’s not enough to respond to attacks. We must anticipate them, continuously adapt, and stay one step ahead. Based on trillions of requests across our global customer base, this new report provides an overview of the current threat landscape and actionable insights for security teams to help protect their valuable assets.”
