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.

MITRE Launches D3FEND™ 1.0 – A Milestone in Cybersecurity Ontology

By: via Business Wire

MITRE released D3FENDTM 1.0, a cybersecurity ontology and knowledgebase designed to establish a vocabulary and conceptualization of the cyber domain.

Funded by the National Security Agency, the Cyber Warfare Directorate in the U.S. Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, and the U.S. Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, D3FEND 1.0 provides a stable, extensible, and integration-friendly framework for cybersecurity operations and strategic decision-making.

First introduced as a beta-level release in June 2021, D3FEND has steadily grown over three years of consistent development and community contributions, tripling its semantic graph in size since its initial release. The collaboration of experts across government and industry, from security architects to detection engineers, has been shaped into the large and use case-driven model that D3FEND is launching today.

“With D3FEND, we are leaning forward with the greater cybersecurity community,” said Wen Masters, vice president, cyber technologies, MITRE. “D3FEND 1.0 reflects the collective expertise and vision of a diverse cybersecurity community. It's more than just a tool—it's a pathway to smarter, more nuanced defensive strategies. Our goal is to ensure D3FEND is adaptable and valuable across a wide range of cybersecurity domains.”

“D3FEND is effectively a model for what cyber defenders are doing in their day-to-day activities, but it’s trying to establish a common language for those activities and the system components to which they apply,” said Peter Kaloroumakis, principal applied ontologist, MITRE. “Even though D3FEND focuses on technology, it’s really solving a human problem. Getting everyone on the same page with a common language and Rosetta Stone is essential for doing in-depth, strategic analysis on your investments and building secure systems.”

Key Features and Enhancements in D3FEND 1.0

  • Cyber Attack-Defense (CAD) Tool: CAD enables D3FEND users to put the full ontology into action for their specific cybersecurity scenarios. Users can drag, drop, and link nodes on the canvas. Then, users can right-click to explore and incorporate D3FEND’s inference and share their CAD graphs on the internet or private networks.
  • Expanded Defensive Techniques & Taxonomies: With ontology additions for identity and access control concepts, operational technology, and source code hardening, D3FEND 1.0 also includes ontological modeling and incorporation of the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE™) to support vulnerability modeling use cases.
  • Ontological Precision & Extensibility: Built upon OWL 2 DL, the D3FEND 1.0 release includes an interface, D3FEND Core Classes, which enables alignment to major upper ontologies, ensuring compatibility for broader semantic applications.
  • Transparency in D3FEND Updates: With a new content-lifecycle strategy, D3FEND ensures seamless adaptation as it evolves, offering predictable updates for users and software developers.

“This milestone is not an end—it’s a beginning, and we are just getting started,” said Kaloroumakis. “We’re committed to ongoing engagement with the cybersecurity community to refine and expand the framework, ensuring it meets the demands of an increasingly sophisticated landscape.”

MITRE invites cyber engineers and other industry professionals to explore D3FEND 1.0, as participation in the community is integral to the continued success and utility of the ontology. With D3FEND, MITRE continues its legacy of delivering innovative solutions and open-source tools that push the boundaries of cybersecurity defense.
