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.

Elastic Announces Elastic AI SOC Engine for Exposing Complex, Hidden Threats

Elastic AI SOC Engine (EASE) reduces alert fatigue and investigation time by integrating context-aware AI with existing SIEM and EDR tools

Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, today announced the launch of Elastic AI SOC Engine (EASE), a new serverless, easy-to-deploy security package that brings AI-driven context-aware detection and triage into existing SIEM and EDR tools, without the need for an immediate migration or replacement.

EASE delivers agentless integrations, AI-driven alert correlation using Elastic’s Attack Discovery, and an AI Assistant that empowers SOC analysts to uncover hidden, coordinated threats faster and reduce manual investigation time. Delivered on the Elastic Cloud, EASE gives security teams a friction-reducing path to prioritize threats, reduce alert fatigue, and enhance the value of their current security investments.

“SOC analysts are overwhelmed by high alert volumes and lack the AI support they need from their existing SIEM and EDR solutions to investigate threats effectively,” said Santosh Krishnan, general manager, Observability & Security at Elastic. “EASE brings Elastic’s proven AI capabilities into the security tools teams already use, to automatically prioritize threats, correlate alerts, and accelerate investigations, reducing the load on teams. When ready, teams can seamlessly migrate to Elastic Security for a unified, AI-driven platform that brings together SIEM, XDR, and cloud security, without missing a beat.”

EASE is designed for fast deployment and immediate value in security environments that rely on Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, CrowdStrike, and other tools. EASE includes:

  • Agentless integrations: Native, agentless alert ingest from third-party SIEM and EDR platforms that allow users to apply AI analysis to alerts immediately.
  • AI-powered alert correlation: Users get access to Elastic Attack Discovery, which triages, correlates and prioritizes alerts, as well as a streamlined AI-powered alert view, which supports analysts with AI-powered summaries and context.
  • Context-aware AI Assistant: Agentless data connectors enrich investigations with internal knowledge from sources including Jira, GitHub, and SharePoint, and support natural language queries and RAG-based search across organizational data.
  • Transparent AI with model flexibility: Choose the LLM that works best for your organization, either your own, or the Elastic Managed LLM. AI Assistant responses are cited, so you know what data was used. All queries, responses, and token usage are fully logged and trackable.
  • Operational dashboards: Out-of-the-box metrics highlight time savings, detection improvements, and ROI to help security teams demonstrate business value.

“Elastic is tackling a common challenge: how to bring open and transparent AI into the SOC without starting from scratch, said Michelle Abraham, senior research director, Security and Trust, IDC. “EASE helps teams with faster detection and investigation using the tools they already have.”
