Hospitality Security Practice Overview
The hospitality industry has undergone more digital transformation efforts in the last two years than in the previous two decades. Today, over 90% of critical business processes in the hospitality industry rely on interconnected digital networks—for example, serverless infrastructures handle payment processing and guests’ data storage.
Many hospitality businesses, such as hotels and restaurants, are retrofitted with smart entertainment systems with remote access portals that permit guests to log into existing streaming services and public Wi-Fi that is complimentary for all to use. However, the more access guests have to connect to different networks, the wider the attack surface becomes for potential cyberattacks.
What makes the hospitality industry lucrative to cybercriminals?
- Access to multiple guests’ data, including personally identifiable information (PII) like full names, addresses, payment card details, and other private information.
- An influx of interconnected devices traversing throughout the network
- An increased email communication workflow (between customers and employees)
- Poor cybersecurity awareness within hospitality staff.
- An absence of proactive threat detection and response measures
- The constant introduction of new and emerging technologies
