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.

LevelBlue Research Finds Cybersecurity is an Afterthought Within Manufacturing and Transportation Organizations, Among Other Barriers to Cyber Resilience

By: via Business Wire

As manufacturing and transportation leaders become less opposed to risk in the era of dynamic computing, obstacles such as silos, lack of prioritization, and reactive budgeting hinder cyber resilience

LevelBlue, a leading provider of managed network security services, managed detection and response, strategic consulting, and threat intelligence, today released its 2024 Futures Reports: Cyber Resilience in Manufacturing and Transportation. The reports depict the struggles each industry experiences with balancing technological innovation among cybersecurity resilience, while facing evolving threats from cybercriminals in the era of dynamic computing.

During a time of accelerated innovation, both reports indicate organizations may not be as opposed to risk as they were before. More than two in three (69%) manufacturing leaders and nearly three in four (73%) transportation respondents confirmed the opportunity of dynamic computing innovation outweighs the corresponding increase in cybersecurity risk. Such trade-offs make cyber resilience nearly impossible to achieve.

Additionally, 71% of manufacturing and 69% of transportation respondents report cyber resilience as the primary responsibility of cybersecurity teams, not an enterprise-wide priority. Respondents highlight that cybersecurity is frequently overlooked in corporate-level decision-making, despite the consequences of cyber attacks leading to significant financial loss and disruption to critical operations. Only 48% of manufacturing and 53% of transportation executives say cybersecurity is included in broader corporate strategy discussions.

“While cyberattacks are on the rise with associated costs climbing, increasing cyber resilience across industries still remains a low priority for business executives,” said Theresa Lanowitz, Chief Evangelist of LevelBlue. “As digital innovation takes center stage, cyber resilience will be crucial to earning and upholding stakeholder trust. For manufacturing and transportation organizations, this means boosting defenses, managing risks, and staying ahead of threats to keep operations running smoothly - despite any cyber disruption. Our research delves into the proactive measures executives can take to effectively balance innovation with risk mitigation.”

Additional key findings from both reports include:

  • While organizations may be less opposed to risk, 64% of manufacturing and 69% of transportation respondents remain cautious about artificial intelligence (AI) adoption.
  • Digital transformation proves to be an ongoing barrier to cybersecurity resilience for manufacturing (73%) and transportation (70%) organizations, with both industries struggling to find the external guidance they need.
  • 66% of manufacturing and transportation respondents believe cybersecurity is an afterthought in their organizations with another 65% of manufacturing and 56% of transportation respondents confirming efforts are often siloed.
  • 67% of manufacturing and transportation respondents indicate that cybersecurity resilience initiatives are not sufficiently factored into the organization’s budget. In fact, 78% of manufacturing organizations and 73% of transportation organizations report budgets are reactive rather than proactive.
  • The adoption of Cybersecurity-as-a-Service (CSaaS) is on the rise with 35% of manufacturing and 33% of transportation organizations opting to outsource their cybersecurity needs rather than managing them in-house.

LevelBlue works as a trusted advisor for organizations to achieve cyber resilience. The manufacturing and transportation industry can do so by identifying primary barriers; being secure by design; aligning cyber investment with business; building a support ecosystem; and transforming cybersecurity strategies.

Methodology

The research is based on a quantitative survey that was carried out by FT Longitude in March 2024. There were a total of 1,050 C-suite and senior executives surveyed, across 18 countries and seven industries: energy and utilities, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, transportation, and US SLED (state, local government, and higher education). Respondents were employed in a variety of cybersecurity-related roles, with 32% working at C-level and the remainder employed in C-minus one positions. The total number surveyed in manufacturing were 161 while another 150 were surveyed for transportation.
