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.

Cyber Threats Remain a Top Business Concern in Travelers Risk Index

By: via Business Wire

Percentage of companies that have experienced a cyberattack climbs for ninth time in 10 years

The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today released the results of its 2025 Travelers Risk Index, with survey participants from large- and medium-sized companies ranking cyber threats as the top overall business concern. The survey also indicated that, compared with last year, a much smaller percentage of respondents believe that the current business environment is becoming more risky.

“These findings provide a compelling snapshot of how people and companies view cyber threats and what they’re doing, if anything, to avoid becoming the next victim of a cyberattack,” said John Menefee, Vice President and Enterprise Cyber Lead at Travelers. “Being aware of the risks and implementing a cybersecurity program that addresses areas of potential exposure can separate businesses that thrive from those derailed by devastating breaches.”

The annual Travelers Risk Index surveys more than 1,200 business decision-makers across the country on a variety of cyber-related topics, including whether their company has suffered an attack, what steps they have taken to mitigate any cyber vulnerabilities, and if that includes purchasing a cyber insurance policy. Representatives from businesses of all sizes and from a range of sectors participated.

Top Concerns

Despite survey respondents from large- and medium-sized companies ranking cyber as the top business concern, it ranked third for businesses of all sizes, with 56% saying they worry some or a great deal. Broad economic uncertainty, which was second behind cyber on the list of business concerns in the survey a year ago, has regained the top spot. The top five overall concerns were:

  • Broad economic uncertainty (58%)
  • Medical cost inflation (58%)
  • Cyber risks (56%)
  • The impact of the global economy on a company (53%)
  • Supply chain risks (51%)

In addition, a security breach or someone hacking into a computer system was the top cyber-related business concern.

Declining Concerns

When asked about the level of risk their company currently faces, only 40% of respondents said they believe the business environment is becoming more risky. Last year, it was 51%. That applied to cyber threats, too, with the 56% saying they worry some or a great deal down from 62% in 2024 and marking the lowest percentage since 2020. The percentage of survey participants from large companies who thought a cyberattack against their company was inevitable was also down, at 62% compared with 70% in 2024.

In addition, more than 20% said their company had not taken simple protective steps, such as:

  • Using firewall protection (24%).
  • Backing up data and infrastructure (24%).
  • Requiring password changes (29%).
  • Keeping software up to date (29%).

“Companies need to stay vigilant and not take their eye off the ball, because the key to successful cyber mitigation is staying ahead of it,” said Lauren Winchester, Vice President of Cyber Risk Services at Travelers. “The worst thing a business can do is to become complacent. Don’t stop investing, because the bad actors aren’t stopping.”

Rising Cyber Incidents

For the ninth time in the last 10 years, the percentage of respondents who said their company has suffered a cyber event was higher than the year before. This year, 25% said they had suffered a data breach or cyber event, compared with 24% in 2024.
