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.

DigitalOcean Helps Customers Bolster Object Storage Security with Spaces Per-Bucket Access Keys

New security capabilities on DigitalOcean Spaces enable identity-based access control

DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN), the simplest scalable cloud for growing tech companies, today announced the general availability of Per-Bucket Access Keys for DigitalOcean Spaces, its S3-compatible object storage service. This much-anticipated feature provides customers with identity-based, bucket-level control over access permissions, helping to enhance their data security and simplifying management.

Prior to the introduction of Per-Bucket Access Keys, many customers chose to limit the types of applications they ran on DigitalOcean infrastructure to those without object storage requirements or with minimal access management requirements in order to better control access to their object data. Customers also opted to limit their overall number of object workloads in order to help ensure their users did not inadvertently gain access to data unrelated to their own roles.

With Per-Bucket Access Keys, administrators can assign read-only or read-write permissions for accessing specific buckets to the appropriate users and applications within their organization. This targeted approach strengthens organizational security, helping to ensure that users and applications only have access to the data they need, and it unlocks customers’ ability to run a much wider range of applications within a single DigitalOcean account.

“Managing access to data can be tricky. Overly complex security controls can make it difficult for customers to manage their cloud environments and often require additional investments in security experts,” said Keshav Attrey, Senior Product Manager for Spaces at DigitalOcean. “With Per-Bucket Access Keys, DigitalOcean now provides developers and businesses with robust and intuitive core security controls for their users and applications while helping them maintain operational simplicity.”

Real-World Use Cases

Per-Bucket Access Keys open up a range of new possibilities for businesses and developers:

  • Enhanced Security: Help ensure applications and team members only have access to the data they need.
  • Multi-Tenant Environments: Better safeguard customer data by isolating access for each tenant.
  • Environment Isolation: Keep development, staging, and production environments separate within the same account.
  • Application-Specific Access: Help reduce the impact of a compromised access key by limiting its scope to a single bucket.
  • Secure File Sharing: Share content from one bucket without exposing content from any other buckets.

"Spaces Per-Bucket Access Keys has significantly enhanced our infrastructure capabilities. By offering simple and approachable settings, it enables us to enhance security within individual buckets, providing us with a sense of security by precisely controlling access where it is most critical,” said Adam Tharani, platform developer at Marketcircle. “This enhanced control provides clarity, ultimately improving our workflows and enabling us to grant more access than previously possible."

Future Enhancements

We’re continuously working to improve the user experience and capabilities of Per-Bucket Access Keys. Here’s what’s on the horizon:

  • API and CLI Support: By mid-2025, customers will be able to create Per-Bucket Access Keys through the DigitalOcean API and CLI, in addition to the DigitalOcean Control Panel.
  • S3-Compatible Bucket Policy Support: Integration with S3-compatible bucket policies (PutBucketPolicy) is in progress and expected to be available by mid-2025.
