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.

CrowdStrike Unleashes the Agentic Security Workforce to Transform Security Operations

CrowdStrike introduces new, mission-ready agents out of the box to automate high-impact workflows; Unveils Charlotte AI AgentWorks, the first no-code security agent development platform that enables teams to build, orchestrate, and scale AI agents securely

Fal.Con 2025, Las Vegas – CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today unleashed a new agentic security workforce across the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. CrowdStrike is expanding agentic capabilities in two ways: mission-ready agents available in Falcon modules, and Charlotte AI AgentWorks, a new, no-code platform that makes every security team an AI builder. Together, these innovations deliver machine-speed capabilities to automate repetitive tasks, accelerate outcomes, and empower analysts to focus on the strategic decisions that strengthen security.

The Agentic Security Workforce is powered by the Falcon Agentic Security Platform, unveiled today as the foundation of the agentic SOC.

“Our vision is that every security analyst will be in command of an agentic security workforce that eliminates the time-consuming and repetitive tasks better suited for machines,” said Michael Sentonas, president of CrowdStrike. “We started with seven of the most common and high-impact workflows, embedding the expertise of Falcon Complete analysts into agents that reason, decide, and act with the judgment of an elite analyst at machine-speed. And with Charlotte AI AgentWorks, customers can go further, building and customizing their own agents to extend these capabilities into the unique workflows of their environment.”

Mission-Ready Agents: Automating Analyst Workflows

The agentic SOC is more than tools, it’s an AI-powered workforce running at machine-speed, always under defender control. CrowdStrike’s first fleet of agents – powered by Charlotte AI – are designed to handle critical security workflows and automate repetitive tasks, freeing analysts to focus on higher-value work and accelerating outcomes. Available as part of Falcon modules and informed by millions of real-world decisions from Falcon® Complete Next-Gen MDR, these agents unlock even more value from the Falcon platform by scaling expertise and accelerating investigations. CrowdStrike’s first wave of agents includes:

  • Exposure Prioritization Agent (Falcon Exposure Management): Automates vulnerability triage, shrinking backlogs and focusing remediation on exploitable risks.
  • Malware Analysis Agent (Falcon Threat Intelligence): Analyzes files, maps malware families, and generates YARA rules – enabling defense at the family level instead of file-by-file.
  • Hunt Agent (Falcon Threat Intelligence): Automates proactive threat hunting, continuously scanning for emerging threats.
  • Search Analysis Agent (Falcon Next-Gen SIEM): Summarizes and interprets query results in seconds, reducing hours of manual analysis.
  • Correlation Rule Generation Agent (Falcon Next-Gen SIEM): Recommends and tunes detection rules for advanced threats and insider risks.
  • Data Transformation Agent (Falcon Next-Gen SIEM): Normalizes and translates data across tools, removing errors that stall automation.
  • Workflow Generation Agent (Falcon Next-Gen SIEM): Converts natural language into automated workflows in Falcon Fusion, no coding required.

Charlotte AI AgentWorks: Build and Customize Agents

Alongside CrowdStrike-delivered agents, customers can now build and deploy their own. With Charlotte AI AgentWorks, every security team becomes an AI builder and orchestrator – using natural language to set the mission, define the data, and control behavior. With no coding and no friction, agents are built, tested, and deployed directly in the Falcon platform with enterprise-grade security and governance.

The Agentic Workforce with the Judgment of Elite Analysts

Trained on millions of expert SOC decisions from Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR, CrowdStrike’s new security workforce operates with reasoning, oversight, and guardrails. Analysts can guide and collaborate with agents in real time, centralizing agentic defense in a single platform that scales expertise, accelerates investigations, and improves outcomes.

Agentic Response Collaboration

Charlotte AI can securely connect and collaborate with trusted third-party agents from partners including Abnormal AI, Corelight, ExtraHop, Google, GreyNoise, Proofpoint, Rubrik, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Zscaler, and others. This extends agentic defense across the broader enterprise ecosystem, with Charlotte AI as the trusted command plane for human–machine and multi-agent collaboration.

All platform customers will get access to Charlotte AI – including new mission-ready agents – with limited monthly credits. To learn more about CrowdStrike’s Agentic Security Workforce and Charlotte AI AgentWorks, read our blog and visit here.
