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.

DigitalOcean Launches Single Sign-On to Streamline Cloud Security and Access

Built on OIDC and starting with Okta, SSO provides secure, frictionless access and automated user management for every customer.

DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN), the simplest scalable cloud for digital native enterprises, today announced support for Single Sign-On. This integration is designed to provide digital native businesses with seamless and secure authentication to their DigitalOcean accounts.

DigitalOcean Single Sign-On (SSO) helps to centralize user access and makes user onboarding and offboarding seamless. It’s built on the industry-standard OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol, ensuring secure and reliable authentication. SSO connects your existing Identity Provider (IdP) to DigitalOcean, starting with Okta and expanding to other leading IdPs in the future. For growing, cloud-native teams, SSO provides secure, frictionless access without added complexity or cost. DigitalOcean includes enterprise-grade control and automated user management in every plan, so your team can focus on building, not managing logins.

Features of Single Sign-on include:

  • IdP integration & centralized access control: Direct DigitalOcean connection and enforcement of security policies (e.g., MFA, IP restrictions, password policies) through an organization's existing IdP.
  • Automated user provisioning: Automatically creates new user accounts and assigns roles within DigitalOcean based on IdP group membership upon first login.
  • Role-based access: Aligns identity provider groups with DigitalOcean roles to simplify and automate permissions management.
  • Automated offboarding: Supports real-time deprovisioning of user access from DigitalOcean when removed from the IdP.
  • Enforcement options: Allows administrators to choose between enforcing SSO-only authentication or permitting a mix of SSO and traditional logins.

“The addition of Single Sign-On underscores DigitalOcean’s commitment to delivering enterprise-grade security without enterprise complexity or cost,” said Bratin Saha, Chief Product and Technology Officer, DigitalOcean. “Unlike other cloud providers that gate SSO and automated user management behind premium tiers, DigitalOcean includes these capabilities for every customer. By making secure authentication and frictionless onboarding a built-in part of our platform, we help growing teams spend less time managing access and more time innovating and scaling.”
