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.

TruGrid Introduces RDP Inspector: A Free Tool to Detect Open Ports

By: Get News

Schaumburg, IL - February 20, 2025 - TruGrid, a leader in secure remote access and zero-trust solutions, has launched RDP Inspector, a free, web-based tool designed to help businesses and cybersecurity professionals detect vulnerable open ports on the internet. With cyberattacks increasingly targeting Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and other internet vulnerabilities, RDP Inspector offers organizations a way to show open and vulnerable ports on their firewalls.

Rising Cybersecurity Threats Through Open Ports

Open ports are a significant security risk, often exploited by attackers to infiltrate networks, steal sensitive data, and deploy malware. Exposed RDP services are targeted by ransomware operators, with attacks such as Dharma and Venus ransomware actively exploiting poorly configured RDP servers. An experiment by GoSecure found that an exposed RDP honeypot was attacked over 3.5 million times within three months. These numbers underscore the urgent need for businesses to secure their network perimeters by detecting and mitigating open port vulnerabilities.

TruGrid’s RDP inspector aims to bridge this security gap by offering instant visibility into open ports. Through internet scans, the tool identifies exposed ports and provides actionable insights essential for mitigating cyber risks.

“RDP Inspector empowers organizations to take the first step in assessing and mitigating network vulnerabilities. Our goal is to provide businesses with an easy-to-use, effective tool to enhance their cybersecurity, regardless of their technical expertise.”, said Peter Ayedun, CEO of TruGrid.

TruGrid Tools - RDP Inspector Results Example

Key features of RDP Inspector include:

  • Browser-Based Scanning: Users can access the tool from any web browser, eliminating the need for additional software.

  • Vulnerability Detection: Scans for open ports and services that could expose systems to unauthorized access or attacks.

  • Actionable Reports: Generates detailed security reports to help organizations identify, prioritize, and resolve vulnerabilities.

  • In-country Usage: Built-in safeguards, such as geo-blocking, prevent misuse and ensure responsible tool usage for in-country scans.

RDP Inspector presents the results in either the tool’s interface or via email reports. This allows users to receive both instant and comprehensive feedback on their network’s security posture so they can prioritize and address risks more efficiently.

A Comprehensive Security Strategy

RDP Inspector complements TruGrid SecureRDP, the company’s flagship solution for secure remote desktop access. While RDP Inspector identifies open and vulnerable ports, SecureRDP enhances security by allowing RDP access without any firewall exposure. It does this with no need for VPNs or inbound firewall exposure.

TruGrid SecureRDP makes networks invisible to attackers over the internet. The solution incorporates multi-factor authentication (MFA) by default and is built on a zero-trust architecture, ensuring that access is verified in the cloud before access is granted to protected resources. TruGrid utilizes a high-performance global fiber-optic network to minimize latency, delivering a smooth remote desktop experience for users

Strengthening Cybersecurity

Together, RDP Inspector and SecureRDP provide businesses with a proactive, end-to-end approach to network security. These tools help organizations address vulnerabilities, improve their cybersecurity posture, and maintain secure operations without compromising efficiency and user experience.

TruGrid’s solutions are designed to support the growing demand for secure remote and hybrid work environments, offering accessible security options for businesses of all sizes.

RDP Inspector is available now at rdpinspector.com.
