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.

AV-Comparatives releases Internet Security Real-World Protection Test Report for H1 2021

It is very important to use sufficient test cases. AV-Comparatives use more test cases than any other testing lab. Consequently, our tests reach a very high level of statistical significance.”
— Peter Stelzhammer, co-founder, AV-Comparatives
INNSBRUCK, TYROL, AUSTRIA, June 27, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Independent security-software evaluation lab AV-Comparatives has just released the report of its Consumer Real-World Protection Test for February-May 2021.

Partially funded by the Republic of Austria, this test was conducted by AV-Comparatives supported by the University of Innsbruck’s Faculty of Computer Science.

The consumer security products tested in the Real-World Protection Test were:

Avast Free Antivirus
AVG Free Antivirus
Avira Antivirus Pro
Bitdefender Internet Security
ESET Internet Security
G Data Total Security
K7 Total Security
Kaspersky Internet Security
McAfee Total Protection
NortonLifeLock Norton 360
Panda Free Antivirus
Total AV Total Security
Total Defense Essential Antivirus
Trend Micro Internet Security
VIPRE Advanced Security

The Real-World Protection Test conducted by AV-Comparatives simulated real-world conditions as experienced every day by users. The company’s own crawling system was used to find out malicious sites and extract malicious URLs to be used in the test. The tests were performed using a fully patched Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit system.

The test accurately determined if each malware sample used was able to make any changes to the test system.

AV-Comparatives co-founder Peter Stelzhammer commented, “In this kind of testing, it is very important to use sufficient test cases (samples). If only a small sample set is used in comparative tests, the results may not accurately indicate the protective capabilities of the tested products. AV-Comparatives use more test cases per product and month than any other testing lab running similar tests. Consequently, our tests reach a very high level of statistical significance”.

To group the results and identify the level of similarity between the clusters, statistical methods like hierarchical cluster analysis were utilized. To ensure that security programs do not plague users with false alarms, AV-Comparatives put all the products through a false-positives test.

Programs with high levels of false alarms had their award levels reduced. Many of the tested products performed well, with only one product reaching the highest award level. However, AV-Comparatives states that the standards for this test are very high, and even products with the Standard Award have achieved a creditable protection level.

Like all AV-Comparatives’ public reports, the report of the 2021 H1 Consumer Real-World Protection Test can be downloaded free of charge from the institute’s website. You can read the report here: https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/real-world-protection-test-february-may-2021/
