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.

Email Is Healthcare’s Biggest Security Risk–2025 Report Uncovers Alarming Gaps

A new report analyzing 180 healthcare email breaches from January 1, 2024, to January 31, 2025 reveals widespread cybersecurity issues and escalating regulatory penalties. Paubox’s 2025 Healthcare Email Security Report highlights how email remains the leading attack vector, resulting in financial penalties, compromised patient data, and increased enforcement actions from regulators.

Key Findings:

  • 43.3% of breaches involved Microsoft 365.
  • Barracuda, Proofpoint and Mimecast accounted for 26.7% of breaches
  • 264% increase in ransomware attacks on healthcare since 2018.
  • Only 1.1% of analyzed healthcare organizations had a low-risk email security posture, highlighting systemic vulnerabilities.
  • HIPAA fines exceeding $9 million were issued due to email security failures, including Solara Medical Supplies’ $9.76 million settlement.
  • $9.8 million – The average cost per healthcare email breach, according to IBM.

Email security remains healthcare’s biggest weakness

Despite a 50% increase in healthcare cybersecurity spending since 2018, many healthcare organizations still fail to implement fundamental email security protocols. 37.2% of Microsoft 365 users had DMARC in ‘monitor-only’ mode, leaving phishing attempts undetected. According to a Paubox survey, “only 27% of IT leaders feel confident about avoiding a breach in 2025.”

According to OCR Director Melanie Fontes Rainer, “HIPAA-regulated entities need to be proactive in ensuring their compliance with the HIPAA Rules, and not wait for OCR to reveal long-standing HIPAA deficiencies.” The prevalence of email-related breaches in 2024 underscores this warning, as many healthcare organizations only realize their security gaps after a serious incident occurs.

Regulators are increasing enforcement

The HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has intensified HIPAA enforcement, issuing record fines for email security failures and insufficient risk assessments. Recent high-profile cases include:

  • Solara Medical Supplies - $9.76 million settlement due to a phishing-related breach affecting 114,000 patient records.
  • L.A. Care - $1.3 million fine for systemic security lapses that led to a breach.
