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.

The technology sector continues to drive the overall market higher, with cybersecurity stocks presenting intriguing setups. Software infrastructure and cybersecurity stocks have performed modestly year-to-date, aligning with the broader market. The Amplify Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ: HACK) is up nearly 8% YTD, reflecting this trend.

Cybersecurity became a critical focus with the rise of cyber threats and breaches, impacting businesses and governments globally. High-profile attacks and increasing digitalization have emphasized the need for robust cybersecurity measures, ensuring the sector's relevance and growth potential.

While much of the tech sector's attention has been on AI-related innovation, several cybersecurity stocks have shown fundamental solid performance, with growing earnings and favorable risk-reward setups from a technical analysis perspective. Here are three cybersecurity stocks setting up well for a potential buy opportunity.

CrowdStrike: Leading the Cybersecurity Charge

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD)is a leading multinational cybersecurity company based in Austin, Texas. It offers security solutions for cloud-based workloads, endpoint security, threat intelligence, and cyber attack response. As the third-largest holding in the HACK ETF, CrowdStrike is one of the largest cybersecurity companies globally.

CRWD is one of the Top-Rated stocks and projects an earnings growth of 55% for the full year. The stock has significantly outperformed the sector, industry, and overall market this year with an impressive 50% return YTD. CRWD is trading near its all-time high, consolidating in a bullish formation above prior resistance, indicating a potential breakout.

Zscaler's Recent Surge: Momentum Shift

Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS) is a prominent cloud security company that helps organizations securely transform their networks and applications for the digital age. Unlike CrowdStrike, Zscaler has underperformed this year, with its stock down over 11% YTD. However, momentum has shifted for the stock.

After bottoming out near the end of May, ZS has surged almost 20%, reclaiming its critical moving averages and indicating a change in momentum and trend. Zscaler last announced its earnings data on May 30, 2024, reporting $0.15 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of ($0.24) by $0.39. The company had revenue of $553.20 million for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $535.55 million. Analysts are bullish on the stock, with a Moderate Buy rating and a price target forecasting over 15% upside.

Fortinet Stock: What Analysts Predict for the Coming Quarter

Fortinet Inc. (NASDAQ: FTNT) is a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions for businesses, governments, and service providers. Its products and services help organizations protect their networks, data, and applications from cyber threats.

From a technical analysis perspective, FTNT has an interesting setup as it consolidates in a contracting range with converging key SMAs. Having pulled back significantly from its 52-week high, a break above the current consolidation might signal significant upward momentum for the stock in the third quarter.

Fortinet last issued its quarterly earnings results on May 2, 2024, reporting $0.43 per share, topping the consensus estimate of $0.38 by $0.05. The company had revenue of $1.35 billion for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.34 billion, marking a 7.2% increase year-over-year. Analysts have a consensus hold rating for FTNT, with a price target forecasting an almost 16% upside for the stock.

Cybersecurity Sector Outlook: Promising Gains in the Second Half of 2024

The cybersecurity sector, driven by ongoing digitalization and rising cyber threats, remains crucial and poised for continued growth. While AI innovations dominate headlines, cybersecurity stocks like CrowdStrike, Zscaler, and Fortinet present compelling investment and momentum trading opportunities. Investors and participants might want to consider these stocks, particularly for sector exposure, as the sector could see significant gains in the year's second half.
