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.

1Kosmos Achieves Perfect Score in Level 2 Biometric Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Certification

Independent Testing Validates Effectiveness of 1Kosmos Advanced Biometric Liveness Detection Capabilities and Compliance with ISO/IEC 30107-3 Standard

1Kosmos, a leader in unifying identity proofing and passwordless authentication, today announced that it has successfully completed Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Level 2 testing in accordance with the ISO/IEC 30107-3 standard. The evaluation, conducted by iBeta Quality Assurance, an independent testing firm accredited by NIST, resulted in a perfect score for the 1Kosmos platform, with zero security breaches.

“Achieving PAD Level 2 with a perfect score offers independent validation from the leading authority in biometrics that 1Kosmos’ advanced liveness detection technology effectively counters even the most sophisticated identity-based attacks,” stated Rohan Pinto, CTO of 1Kosmos. “This certification provides customers with the assurance that 1Kosmos meets and exceeds the ISO/IEC 30107-3 security standard for phishing-resistant identity verification and authentication.”

PAD Level 2 testing assesses a biometric system’s capability to distinguish between a real person and fraudulent biometric representations. During the evaluation from February 5 to March 5, 2025, iBeta researchers enrolled six diverse subjects and conducted 600 presentation attack attempts across various devices, including the Google Pixel 8 (Android 14) and the Apple iPhone 16 (iOS 18.0). Attack tools included silicone masks, contoured masks, 2.5D felt-printed masks, 3D animation software, and 3D-printed masks. The outcome: 1Kosmos technology successfully blocked all attacks, achieving an Imposter Attack Presentation Accept Rate (IAPAR) of 0%.

In addition to receiving the PAD Level 2 certification, 1Kosmos has demonstrated it meets the highest security and compliance standards, including NIST 800-63-3, FIDO2, ISO 27001 and SOC2. For more information, visit: https://www.1kosmos.com/compliance/.
