  • 2023 will be a consequential year for cybersecurity.
  • "There's a gathering cyber storm,"
  • "This storm is brewing, and it's really hard to anticipate just how bad that will be."
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • cyberattacks such as phishing, ransomware and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are on the rise.
  • Cloudflare
  • a major US cybersecurity firm that provides protection services for over 30% of Fortune 500 companies
  • "There's been an enormous amount of insecurity around the world,"
  • "I think 2023 is gonna be a busy year in terms of cyber attacks."
  • Experts warned that cyberattacks are increasing in sophistication and frequency.
  • “This is a global threat, and it calls for a global response,”
  • “This is a global threat, and it calls for a global response and enhanced and coordinated action,” Jürgen Stock, the Secretary-General of the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL),
  • “The key to winning the battle against cybercrime is, of course, to work together to make it a priority across the geopolitical fault lines.”
  • This concern has been raised particularly around critical infrastructure sectors like energy, public transportation and manufacturing. SecurityScorecard, a US cybersecurity rating and analysis firm, reported recently that 48% of critical manufacturing companies surveyed were at significant risk of a cyber breach.
  • “Vulnerabilities within the critical manufacturing sector haven’t gone unnoticed by cybercriminals either,” said Aleksandr Yampolskiy, SecurityScorecard's CEO.
  • The Forum's report also notes that the potential targets for cyberattacks are increasing. Today, targets include not only government agencies or major corporations, but largely any organization that handles consumer data—no matter how small.
  • There is no such thing as a hundred percent security. It's about resilience in the face of insecurity.”
  • “
  • Consumers, too, need to increase their cybersecurity awareness in 2023, experts say.
  • As more things get connected to the internet there's just more risk. ”— Matthew Prince, Cloudflare CEO
  • Zero Trust approach to cybersecurity, which creates a framework that eliminates implicit trust and ensures that any user—even those who are supposed to be inside an organization's network—is authenticated and validated at every turn.

  • Biometrics aren’t just used to enhance the guest experience. They can also help create in-house efficiencies as well, such as with a biometric-based system to track when employees
  • First, by making guest rooms accessible only by fingerprint or facial scanning, it eliminates the needs to manage key card inventory and the headache of lost, stolen, or deactivated cards.
  • Skipping all check-in formalities may not always been an option, but fingerprint or facial scanning can help to expedite the process.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Check-in via facial recognition is already active at hotels in China. FlyZoo, a 290-room hotel located in Hangzhou, allows guests to select their floor and room during booking on their mobile app.
  • The use of biometric data can help to ‘announce’ guests, their information, and their preferences without them having to provide any additional information.
  • Requiring the use of a fingerprint to authorize any additional payments during a hotel stay, such as food and beverage orders, spa treatments, or in-room entertainment purchases, makes check-out billing quick and accurate.
  • As the population becomes more comfortable with the use of biometrics in everyday life — such as using our fingerprints or faces to unlock our mobile devices — they will come to expect that same ease of identity verification for other purchases or experiences, like travel.

    Nothing ground breaking from what we have already heard. But the lack of response from the majority of the industry to implement is astonishing.

    Rapid Check-in, Easy & secure payments, Personalized Guest Experience, Quick Payment all sounds really good but there's other uses, tracking employees.

    This article talks about the biometrics in hotels. For example, In China, there is facial recognition to check into the hotel. Facial recognition can also be used as a "room key" as well.

    Augmented reality is flooding the hospitality industry with its many features. As stated in the article, "AR is an interactive experience or enhanced version of the real world to be presented in a more understandable way". Anyone is the hospitality industry knows and are aware of the convenience and satisfaction AR/AI/VI brings to both the guests and businesses. A great example mentioned is the article is how AR can aid travelers from out of the country where there is a language barrier. This provides an untroubled trip, and not to mention a safer trip for someone in a new country. A feature we are seeing a lot now-a-days and many hotels using is 3D models of their rooms and amenities. This allows the guest to tour and experience the hotel without even stepping foot in the hotel yet. AR/AI/VR provides a realistic experience as well as aids in collecting data for businesses and creating better and even personalized experiences.
