Hospitality

The hospitality industry provides a unique landscape attractive to cybercriminals, given the large databases and the high number of day to day transactions. Hospitality executives who seek to mitigate security risks and comply with data privacy regulations must develop a risk management plan.

The hospitality industry is in a unique position, in that its organizations handle extensive amounts of personal and financial information daily, through credit card transactions and online reservations.

What’s more, this information is often stored for months at a time. While the financial repercussions

of a data breach can have serious implications for any business, in the hospitality industry the public relations damage from a data breach could be devastating. In an industry where reputation is critical, it’s vital that businesses take the increasing cyber threat landscape seriously.

While complying with Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards is a step in the right direction, it should not be the only defense against data breaches. With guidance from Digital Forge’s cybersecurity professionals, you can take your hospitality beyond compliance for the highest level of security.
