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.

Jury Found Former Uber Security Chief Guilty of Mishandling a Data Breach Back in 2016

By: PRLog

A jury found Joe Sullivan guilty of obstructing an active FTC investigation and concealing a data breach that ended up affecting 57 million Uber users.

DENVER - Oct. 31, 2022 - PRLog -- Earlier this month, a federal jury found Joe Sullivan guilty of covering up a wide scale data breach. While serving as Uber's head of security back in 2016, Sullivan allegedly tried to conceal a massive security breach, thereby obstructing justice and committing a felony in the process. The conviction came after a month-long trial, during which several relevant parties–including Uber's CEO Dara Khosrowshahi–testified against Sullivan.

According to Axios, the conviction is worrisome for chief information security officers across the board, who now fear they could become the scapegoat following a cyberattack. The outcome of the trial doesn't necessarily establish that precedent, however, because Sullivan appeared to knowingly commit wrongdoing in the wake of the incident.

After hackers infiltrated Uber's system and stole the personally identifiable information of 50 million riders and 7 million drivers, Sullivan failed to disclose it. The malicious actors proceeded to demand $100,000 in exchange for destroying the stolen data, which Sullivan agreed to pay out of Uber's pocket in the form of Bitcoin. He spun a different story, however, to sweep the incident under the rug and claimed the hackers' demand was a bug bounty and that they all signed non-disclosure agreements.

Of course, companies that gather personally identifiable information have an obligation to protect it and to alert customers–and the appropriate authorities–if it's ever compromised. Instead, Sullivan actively tried to hide the breach from the Federal Trade Commission and then took steps to keep the hackers from being caught. Uber disclosed the incident roughly one year after it occurred and fired Sullivan that same month. They have also invested in additional cybersecurity services to prevent similar breaches in the future.
