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.

Blumira Launches SOC Auto-Focus AI and Enhanced MSP Partner Program to Accelerate Security Operations

Blumira, the security operations platform for growing teams and partners, today announced the launch of SOC Auto-Focus, an AI-powered security investigation tool, alongside enhancements to its Managed Service Provider (MSP) partner program. SOC Auto-Focus is designed to help IT teams and MSPs work smarter, reduce alert fatigue and accelerate incident response through contextual intelligence and expert guidance.

Blumira SOC Auto-Focus provides security teams the ability to quickly respond, investigate and remediate findings.

SOC Auto-Focus is a fundamental shift for how under-resourced IT administrators and security teams approach threat investigation. Rather than replacing human decision-making, the solution enhances analyst capabilities by providing instant context, clear prioritization and guided response workflows developed by Blumira's security experts.

"The security industry has been promising AI solutions that replace human judgment, but that's not what teams actually need," said Matt Warner, CEO of Blumira. "SOC Auto-Focus delivers something more valuable: the context and expertise to make better decisions faster. It's about amplifying human intelligence, not replacing it, and helping teams build their security expertise with every finding they investigate."

Unlike traditional AI security tools that require extensive training periods or provide generic analysis without environmental context, SOC Auto-Focus works immediately upon deployment. The solution draws upon the deep security expertise already built into Blumira's platform, ensuring recommendations are grounded in proven security practices rather than algorithmic guesswork.

“Auto-Focus translates technical alerts into plain language summaries and points me directly to the impact,” said Travis Short, SOC Analyst at NineStar Connect. “It bridges the knowledge gap instantly, saving me from spending time digging through logs or Googling for answers."

Blumira SOC Auto-Focus provides security teams the ability to quickly respond, investigate and remediate findings with:

  • Instant context with plain-language summaries of security events, along with what those events usually mean
  • Clear prioritization with criticality levels, recommended response timeframes, and transparent confidence ratings
  • Guided response with step-by-step investigation and remediation actions crafted by security experts
  • In-the-moment education on risk patterns and best practices that builds team expertise with every finding

With SOC Auto-Focus, organizations can measure their return on investment through reduced mean time to respond to security incidents, increased successful remediation rates, decreased repeat incidents, and improved confidence among IT team members.

In addition to empowering security teams with SOC Auto-Focus, Blumira is also addressing the growing demand for scalable security solutions among its MSP partners with new partner features including advanced multi-tenant management capabilities, streamlined onboarding processes for MSP clients, and enhanced reporting tools that simplify compliance documentation across multiple customer environments.
