JOSHUA BERGEN - ProQuest - 0 views

  • From PCI DSS compliance to privacy, the company's president stresses the importance of education in ensuring data security
  • "It's very ironic now being that what we do, data security and privacy and protection in the credit card environment because what led me to the accounting world was finding credit-card fraud in my reservation department and reporting it," Bergen said.
  • Bergen divided Venza's business into three areas: privacy regulation compliance, data protection and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard compliance. Between the three groups, Venza's services include antivirus, backup recovery, data-breach notification, firewall management, information risk assessment, penetration and segmentation checks, privacy management and remote monitoring. Outside of these central services, the company also provides an educational human-resources suite consisting of modules in sexual-harassment prevention, diversity and guest relations, antibribery and acceptable use of a company's network, website and equipment.

"So that's why we focus on what we call the human firewall," he said. "They are the most valuable asset in all of this." Sidebar

11 Key Technology Trends Emerging in the Travel Industry in 2022 - 1 views

  •  
    This article shows the 11 Key Trends that are disrupting the travel industry and what businesses need to stay on top of in order to stay relevant. I found the concept of voice activated things in the rooms interesting. As someone who has her own "smart-home", I struggle with the debate of Alexa always listening to my children, and the ease of me saying goodnight and all the lights turning off without me having to get up. I remember reading about a lawsuit that came about regarding the legality of Alexa recording children without their consent, so I wonder about the feasibility of this technology inside the rooms themselves.

Cloud Computing and the Hospitality Industry - Insights - 0 views

  •  
    I found this article about cloud computing and the hospitality industry on the website eHotelier. The article focuses on the hospitality industry's unique relationship with technology. Technology has helped the hospitality industry grow throughout the years. With technology, the hospitality industry can offer better services to its customers, and technology also helps develop the tourism industry. The hospitality industry has included technology innovation as it continues evolving with better technology. For example, hotels can now handle information on internal servers and record customer visits through bookings and in-house data systems. Nowadays, hotels are now using cloud computing because it is inexpensive, provides an accessible service, offers faster service and stronger security, and reduces service and cost because it can be flexible when it comes to business demands. Cloud computing in the hospitality industry is very helpful because the services are faster and more efficient. It decreases wait times, which is valuable for offering customer services and customer satisfaction. Customers can have a more personalized service upon arrival or when checking out. The hotel staff also be aware of guests' room preferences, food, activities, and everything the guest likes before arriving on the premises. Hotels can also partner with travel agencies through the cloud because it offers the opportunity to share applications of data-sharing services. In addition, the cloud also has the benefit of reducing workforce and administration tasks.
