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.

Hacking Incidents Dominate Health Data Breaches According to New Breach Barometer Report

More than 50.4M patient records breached as threat actors exploit pandemic disruptions

BALTIMORE - March 10, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Over 50 million patient records were breached in 2021, according to a new report released today, the Protenus Breach Barometer®. Published by Protenus, a healthcare compliance analytics company that protects patient data for the nation's leading health systems, the Breach Barometer is the industry's definitive source for health data breach reporting. 

In 2021, the healthcare industry faced rising supply costs, higher salaries, and critical staffing shortages exacerbated by COVID-19 on top of the continued challenge of employee retention and satisfaction, patient safety, and organizational success. Although bad actors have relentlessly exploited healthcare's weak spots for years, continuous disruption made the industry an even bigger target for data breaches in 2021. There were 905 reported health data breaches in 2021, up 19% from 758 reported in 2020.

The single largest breach in 2021 was the result of a hacking incident involving the IT business associate of a children's health plan based in Tallahassee, Florida. Hackers exploited vulnerabilities in the health plan's website that the web hosting provider hadn't patched or addressed, gaining access to information including full names, birth dates, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, Social Security numbers, financial information, familial relationships, and secondary insurance data. The incident affected as many as 3,500,000 individuals who applied for health insurance between 2013 and December 2020.

The Breach Barometer findings also note that insider incidents continued to be a risk, accounting for more than one in 10 healthcare data breaches. Insider behavior can, and often does, give outsiders a foothold for improper access to patient data and may have provided an entryway for the many hacking incidents that accounted for the majority of breaches in 2021.

Nick Culbertson, CEO of Protenus, remarked on the severity of the insider incidents, noting, "The need for proactive patient privacy monitoring has never been greater. The threats we're seeing today are much more intrusive than in years past and can come from multiple sources — a random employee snooping or a sophisticated cybersecurity hacker that gains access through an employee channel. Once a breach erodes patient trust in your organization, that's extremely difficult to recover from."

Incidents included in the analyses for this report were compiled and analyzed by DataBreaches.net, with additional research and analyses provided by Protenus.
