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.

New Report Exposes Confidence Crisis in Healthcare IT Security

A new Paubox report reveals that healthcare IT leaders significantly overestimate their email security—leaving patient data exposed to real and growing threats.

According to Healthcare IT is dangerously overconfident about email security, 92% of healthcare IT leaders believe they are equipped to prevent email breaches.

They’re not.

A survey of 150 U.S.-based healthcare organizations exposed that most are relying on outdated systems, misconfigured tools, and email security processes that are routinely bypassed by staff.

The report points to a widespread “confidence gap” in healthcare cybersecurity, where leaders assume they are secure but fail to match that confidence with the technology, training, or budget investment needed to keep up with today’s threats.

Why it matters:

Patient data doesn’t just live in EHRs. It flows through inboxes, attachments, referrals, and care coordination chains every single day. If your email system isn’t locked down, your HIPAA posture is a house of cards.

“As a cybersecurity consulting practice engaging with hundreds of organizations annually, we consistently observe a critical gap in email security practices. Too often, organizations rely on infosec policies, user training, or manually enforced controls—rather than implementing automated, policy-driven email encryption solutions,” shared Andrew Hicks, Partner and National HITRUST Practice Lead for Frazier & Dieter Advisory, LLC. “This overreliance on human-dependent safeguards introduces unnecessary risk and undermines the integrity of outbound email protection strategies.”

Despite 89% of respondents identifying AI and machine learning as essential for detecting modern email threats, only 44% say they’ve implemented AI-powered solutions. At the same time, 56% of organizations allocate less than 10% of their security budget to email—the sector’s top threat vector.

Key findings from the report include:

  • 8 out of 10 healthcare IT leaders admit they worry about their HIPAA compliance status
  • 86% say their current tools create workflow friction
  • Common barriers to improving email security include implementation complexity (54%), vendor limitations (53%), and legacy tech (41%)

“We’ve seen email threats evolve faster than many tools meant to stop them,” said Hoala Greevy, CEO of Paubox. “It’s not just about phishing anymore–it’s about deception at scale.”

The report also includes five recommended steps for closing the confidence gap, such as auditing email configurations, eliminating manual encryption processes, and funding email security in proportion to its risk.

“Cybercriminals are exploiting the biggest vulnerability within any organisation: humans,” said Amy Larsen DeCarlo, Principal Analyst for Global Data. “As progress in artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics continues to advance, hackers will find more inventive and effective ways to capitalise on human weakness in areas of (mis)trust, the desire for expediency, and convenient rewards.”
