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.

New Forbes Insight Report Reveals Almost 70% of Banking and Finance Leaders Believe AI-Powered Fraud Will Threaten the Security of User Transactions in 2024

SOMERSET, N.J., March 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CompoSecure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMPO), a leader in metal payment cards, security, and authentication solutions, today announced its participation with Forbes Insights on a new report, Security Should Be Simple: Your Road Map for Preventing Fraud & Building Trust. The Forbes Insights report highlights growing pressures and expectations for fraud prevention and user authentication based on survey results from 200 business leaders in banking and financial services. Key findings include a majority of respondents (68%) expect to increase spending on fraud detection, nearly half (46%) advocate for updates to security protocols for competitiveness, and over half (51%) identify the challenge of balancing security with user convenience. This is the latest original research from Forbes Insights, which provides actionable intelligence for C-Suite executives and other industry participants.

“Banks and financial institutions are grappling with the dual challenge of enhancing protection while ensuring a seamless user experience,” said Adam Lowe, Chief Product and Innovation Officer at CompoSecure. “You often see this dichotomy that either it’s secure or it’s hard, and anything that’s hard is something users won’t do. The technology is now available to make the user experience truly seamless and address password problems that only create security holes and increase customer frustration.

Key insights from the report include:

  • Customer Experience – Improving customer experience is a main driver in implementing new security techniques. The Forbes Insights research shows that companies want to prioritize the customer experience with eight of 10 respondents agreeing that creating a better experience for customer transactions is a key competitive advantage in the industry, and 79% agreed that customer experience is top of mind as they design new security protocols.
  • AI-Powered Fraud – Proactive measures are crucial to combat emerging threats like AI-powered fraud and social engineering, highlighting the need for continuous innovation in security strategies. Currently, 54% of survey respondents are contending with AI-powered fraud, 50% with phishing attacks and 38% with social engineering, while projections for one year from now indicate a substantial rise to 69%, 44% and 45% respectively.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication – Despite widespread adoption, multifactor authentication (MFA) faces challenges from sophisticated scammers, necessitating innovative solutions such as FIDO authentication and hardware keys. In fact, 62% of business leaders have future plans for enhancing cybersecurity via hardware authentication (e.g., key card, fob , USB drive).
  • Budgets – Most (65%) survey respondents stated their annual budget for call center resources dealing with password resets or identity verification will grow over the next year, and the same proportion said that the budget dedicated to password protection will also grow year-over-year. Additionally, more than a third plan to increase spending on FIDO, nearly half plan to increase spending on passwordless authentication and 65% plan to increase spending on multifactor authentication.

As business leaders face increasing threats, innovative solutions like hardware keys are gaining traction. Advancements in authentication technology, particularly through solutions like Arculus Authenticate™, a custom digital security platform by CompoSecure, offer a promising avenue for simplifying secure transactions without compromising convenience. With a simple tap of the card to a mobile phone, customers can authenticate themselves, approve high-dollar transactions, and reduce fraud with Arculus Authenticate™. Arculus by CompoSecure is FIDO2 certified and an approved Microsoft vendor, offering users a reliable and user-friendly secure passwordless authentication solution. Financial institutions can enhance customer trust and differentiate themselves in a competitive market by embracing frictionless authentication methods such as FIDO2, ultimately improving the overall customer experience while safeguarding sensitive data.
