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.

Multi-Factor Authentication: Account Security & Data Protection Guide Released

Transmit Security has released a new customer identity and access management guide covering multi-factor authentication. It highlights the advanced protection it offers over traditional password-based authentication.

The new guide from Transmit Security underscores that MFA requires more than a password for authentication. If customers experience a leak, malware attack, or virus that exposes their Personal Identifiable Information (PII), the system is designed to prevent account takeover.

The recent guide comes as industry data reveals the average cost of a data breach increased by 10% from 2020 to 2021, or $4.24 million from $3.86 million—the highest average cost in history.

In order to mitigate risk and prevent data or revenue loss when breaches occur, businesses need to utilize the latest advances in account security. Multi-factor authentication adds additional roadblocks in three areas. These factors include pins or security questions, tokens or devices, or biometrics.

Transmit Security’s guide explains that the most common form of protection is a combination of knowledge-based and possession-based factors. This could include entering a one-time passcode into a pre-authorized smartphone. Each specific factor has a different level of protection, and these are discussed in depth throughout the guide.

By following the tips outlined in the document, businesses of all sizes can improve account security as part of their risk management strategy. Reducing company reliance on single-factor authentication means that attackers have to overcome more obstacles in order to achieve their goals.

Transmit Security is dedicated to providing advanced identity and security solutions for clients across sectors. The team offers digital identity fraud protection, passwordless MFA solutions, and immersive fraud prevention services with a focus on customer trust.

The new guide is part of their continued focus on customer education across security channels. Additional guidance is provided through a Frequently Asked Question section, where readers can learn more about each aspect of MFA and how it relates to their business.

A spokesperson for the company states: “The primary benefit of MFA is improved account security. If an authentication system relies on a single factor, then an attacker only needs to learn or steal that factor. The use of multiple factors makes it more difficult for an attacker to successfully take over a user account. By combining MFA with SSO or SAML, an organization can more strongly verify a user’s identity before providing them with access to multiple accounts.”
