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.

Chicago, Illinois--(Newsfile Corp. - October 17, 2025) - ExcelMindCyber Institute has announced a new professional development initiative aimed at closing the global cybersecurity talent gap by training non-technical professionals to perform structured security assessments. The initiative responds to a growing industry need for governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) capabilities in business operations.

According to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023, the average cost of a data breach has reached $4.45 million. At the same time, industry reports highlight 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions worldwide. ExcelMindCyber's program focuses on re-skilling business professionals to address this shortfall through framework-based assessments aligned with standards published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Framework-Driven Training for Business-Focused Security

The new training model leverages the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to help professionals without technical backgrounds evaluate organizational risk. The curriculum translates technical security controls into business-oriented processes, making cybersecurity assessment accessible to compliance officers, auditors, and operations managers.

"Many organizations rely heavily on consultants or IT teams for security audits, but this model isn't sustainable," said Tolulope Michael, Chief Visionary Officer at ExcelMindCyber Institute. "Our program helps companies identify and address security gaps internally, using business processes that are already familiar to their staff."

Participants learn to conduct risk-based assessments, evaluate compliance posture, and prioritize remediation efforts based on operational and regulatory impacts rather than purely technical severity. The approach ensures consistent reporting standards and provides immediate visibility into emerging risks.

Bridging the Cybersecurity Skills Divide

Mid-sized organizations often face barriers to hiring full-time cybersecurity experts or engaging external consultants. ExcelMindCyber's framework-based program offers an alternative that reduces assessment costs while increasing operational awareness.

Market Trends Supporting Business-Led Security Assessments

The rise of business-led cybersecurity is reshaping how organizations manage risk. Certification bodies now offer governance-focused credentials that validate security oversight skills without requiring technical expertise. Similarly, universities and business schools have begun integrating cybersecurity management courses into their curricula to meet workforce demand.

ExcelMindCyber's program builds on these developments, offering flexible online modules that focus on three pillars: framework literacy, business risk evaluation, and operational assessment techniques. The initiative aligns with both ISO 27001 principles and NIST's 108 subcategories of security controls.

Real-World Impact and Implementation

Graduates of the program are equipped to identify vulnerabilities that traditional technical scans might overlook, such as undocumented data flows or policy inconsistencies. The methodology emphasizes continuous assessment cycles over annual reviews, enabling faster detection and remediation of governance-related issues.

Organizations adopting the program report measurable improvements in audit preparedness and cross-departmental collaboration. Early participants also note enhanced communication between technical teams and business management, resulting in more integrated security practices across functions.

Building Capacity for the Future

ExcelMindCyber Institute plans to expand the initiative globally through partnerships with universities and industry associations. Upcoming program iterations will include advanced modules for risk quantification, control evaluation, and audit readiness tailored for specific sectors such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.

"The future of cybersecurity depends on collaboration between technical experts and business professionals," Michael added. "Our goal is to make cybersecurity a shared responsibility rather than a specialized function."

The program is now open for enrollment through the institute's official website, with options for corporate partnerships and continuing education credits.
