There is an unwritten trust between hotels and their guests. When they enter your hotel, they want to know that they will be taken care of during their stay and this trust goes beyond their physical wellbeing or that their belongings will be kept safe.
The COVID-19 pandemic not only increased viral attacks on humans, but we also saw a notable risk in viral cyber attacks on businesses.
According to Deloitte, in the last two years we’ve seen a sharp increase in attempted cyber attacks, phishing attacks and ransomware.
The hospitality industry has been particularly vulnerable against cybercrime and this can put guest data at risk. So, what can be done to improve cybersecurity and keep guest data safe within your hospitality business?
Cloud-based security
It is more important than ever that hotels invest in enhanced security that allows the maintenance of a high-level system without breaking the bank.
Having upgraded our previous system, Hotel Executive, for a cloud-based system called Rezcontrol PMS we’re confident we have a solution. The new and improved system is helping our clients to run their businesses digitally with a fully integrated system complete with various personalisation’s to suit your preferences.
Most importantly, because it’s a cloud-based system it protects hotel data from the risk of cyber attacks. A cloud-based security system has the flexibility to change, modify or grow without spending exorbitant costs on infrastructure, hardware and paying each time a system upgrade is required. Meaning Rescontrol PMS offers far superior data protection than any hardware-based alternative.
There is an increasing rise in popularity of cloud-based security solutions. According to Gartner, 85% of enterprises are planning to adopt a cloud-first principle by 2025. Put simply, cloud-based security technology runs on a system of remote servers over the internet, meaning you don’t need to reach out to a dedicated server specialist to maintain your system, it’s taken care of already.
Understandably, some may be nervous about making a jump from their old hotel system to a new one, security is a big investment for any hotel no matter the size.
To ensure an easy transition process, there is no cost associated with transitioning from AvonData’s older Hotel Executive system over to our newer Rezcontrol PMS system. We offer a support team, helpline and events to talk through how to convert over and maximise your security.
