    This is exactly what I have been discussing pertaining to the importance of having an update and recovery strategy. Update and Upgrade Software Immediately Apply all available software updates, automate the process to the extent possible, and use an update service provided directly from the vendor.. . Exercise a System Recovery Plan Create, review, and exercise a system recovery plan to ensure the restoration of data as part of a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy. The plan must protect critical data, configurations, and logs to ensure continuity of operations due to unexpected events.

  • Nearly half of all cyberattacks target SMBs, a number which is expected to increase.
  • Human error is the number one cause of data breaches from cyberattacks, with 52% of incidents directly attributable to them.
  • The majority of attacks that occur within businesses happen because somewhere along the line, someone made a mistake. Perhaps they opened an attachment they shouldn’t have or visited a risky website.

  • 93% of companies without a disaster recovery plan who suffer a major data disaster are out of business within one year.
  • SMBs simply don’t have the resources to survive breaches and are risking their entire business by not fully preparing against attacks.
  • Research suggests that 70% of consumers would stop doing business with a company if it experienced a data breach.
  • even for businesses who can survive a breach and save their data, long-term consequences can be dire.
  • Consider a true next-gen antivirus for everyone under your network to minimize the potential for attack.
  • By keeping all your data periodically backed up in secure data centers, you can rest a lot more easily knowing that should the worst happen, you can respond quickly and effectively.
  • One of the most effective ways of counteracting the dangers of cyberthreats is by training employees and establishing policies around a security strategy.

    This article describes the destructive effects of cyber attacks on enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. Because it does not have sufficient prevention and sufficient resources for disaster recovery. The most direct cause of current cyber attacks is that people open some risky websites or emails in the wrong place. For the hospitality industry, there is a large amount of customer privacy and sensitive information. Once attacked, its destructiveness is unimaginable. And to protect consumer data, most service industries just comply with local state laws, but most state laws have not made greater progress in information protection. Therefore, enterprises should protect themselves and their customers from cyber threats from the three aspects of their own network endpoints, disaster recovery and education.

  • 1. What is risk management?
  • Risk management is a planned process through which organisations manage active crises.
  • A crisis is defined as a time of difficulty or danger and is usually a time when difficult or challenging decisions must be made.
  • ...29 more annotations...
  • 2. Before a crisis: Have a Risk Management Process in place
  • A Risk Management Process aims to reduce the uncertainties of actions taken during a crisis. It is important to have this is place in advance, so that your organisation is well prepared for unexpected events that may happen in future.
  • Establish the context
  • Identify the risks
  • Know who your stakeholders are
  • Analyse and evaluate risks
  • Analysing risks involves determining the likelihood of a crisis occurring and their possible consequences, from insignificant up to catastrophic. Understanding which possible crisis would have the most negative impact will enable you to decide on the priority course of action.
  • Treat risks
  • Communicate and Consult
  • Being visible and keeping in touch with your stakeholders is one of the most important factors of risk management, and it must be done on a continuous basis in all stages, before, during and after a crisis.
  • No two crises are the same, and some destinations will be more susceptible to particular crises than others. You should carry out a risk analysis, drawing up a list of crises that might happen based on those that have occurred in your region/country in the past and may happen again.
  • ou should revisit your website regularly and publish the most recent information about the impact a crisis is having on your destination/region.
  • Use your website and social media to keep in touch
  • Draw up a list of your stakeholders to get a clear overview, so you can ensure they are included in all correspondence you issue.
  • It is really important to date your website communications, so that users can be sure they are receiving the most up-to-date information.
  • Monitor and review
  • Crises are often fast-moving; situations tend to be highly changeable and can be volatile. This means that current processes, plans or procedures that you have in place to deal with a crisis should be regularly reviewed and updated. Your plan should be flexible and dynamic, so that you can adapt easily to the changing situation when a crisis happens.
  • Training and testing
  • Once you have formulated your Risk Management Plan, you must train your staff and test the plan.
  • 3. During the crisis: Follow these four steps
  • Once a company is in the middle of a crisis, the first thing to do is to understand the situation as best you can and understand the impact it can have on your organisation. This is a continual process as one of the characteristics of a crisis is that it’s always changing, and the effects on your business will also constantly shift.
  • 1. Mitigation
  • Mitigation refers to the initial actions that the company that is directly in the face of the crisis or emergency needs to carry out. These are the first steps that need to be taken to protect the ones in the immediate line of fire – teams, customers, suppliers, industry partners and finances.
  • 2. Preparedness
  • he mitigation stage of the crisis management could be a very short process or a long, drawn-out process, depending on the immediate effect of the crisis on your business. At the same time, the process to start preparing the business for this particular crisis can be key to the next stages of Response and Recovery.
  • 3. Response
  • The majority of crisis management lies in the response to the crisis. All the preparation you have already done to protect the company and its assets will help you in the response stage.

    In this weeks reading, the article, "Why Investing in Hospitality Technology is Investing in Good Business", mentions how due to the economic downturn hotels have turn to cutting technology and staff levels as a method to minimize costs, yet this is a recipe for disaster, if not conducted adequately. Technology is continuously evolving, it is important to make decisions regards IT investment that will be useful in the coming 3-5 years. Technological infrastructures should operate to facilitate a process or procedure for the overall benefit of the hotel, rather than take a day-by-day approach. In an ever-demanding industry, it is critical for hoteliers to be adequately prepared with automated systems, reducing if not eliminating important manually conducted tasks which are damaging the operations of the hotel due to the lack of real time information which will help revenue maximization. In moments of recessions, companies minimize their cost reducing what is foreseen as unnecessary such as IT investment, yet is important to maintain a level of preparation and not losing the opportunities presented by the market.

It is vital to know how efficient it is in the workplace, and in what ways in can help the staff. The interest cost of having all this money invested should benefit the hotels revenue activity. Especially in hotels, there has to be a strict decision making, because of how technology is advancing so fast and how efficient the technology will be for the hotel. The correct technology is a challenge. Training the staff with the system is also a test because how fast can they learn and be connected to the operations.

  • Emergency preparedness should be a major part of the hospitality managers’ duties; they must work side by side with other tourism organizations to be prepared well to assist and save the lives of the tourist before, during and after the catastrophic events, and should adopt an updated effective emergency plan.
  • Safety and security are classified as the most important factors in the hospitality industry. Pizam et al., (1997) argued that safety and security are the most important factors to the tourist, and the first in mind when planning to travel.
  • The effective usage of safety surveillance such as closed circuit television (CCTV), electric emergency generators, body guards, fire extinguishers, fire sprinklers, emergency lights will maintain the security procedures adopted by the hotels to ensure their guests' safety, and updated emergency plans to confirm the emergency preparedness and effective planning to overcome the potential risks.

    The article is a study that was conducted in regards to the security management within a hotel and how an effective security system can help in preventing accidents or emergencies from occuring. The main priority of a hotel or any establishment, besides the service provided, is having an effective emergency plan set in place to be able to respond and overcome a crisis. International hospitality being a focus over the recent years, has suffered crises, risks, and disasters causing negative impacts on tourism and the community. Hotels should "issue a check-list concerning a hotel's vulnerability to emergencies caused by natural disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis) or man-made crises (terrorist attacks, explosions, fires, spill, food poisoning)." Another part of the plan is to focus on the loss prevention aspect of a hotel by implementing information technology to secure or improve security. On technology mentioned was biometric to increase the hotel information system and also to help reduce cost and improve the way we recognize criminal activities. With the hospitality industry being one of the most vulnerable industries to crimes and disasters, it is important to recognize, improve and update the plans set into place to ensure accurate information. While it's impossible to say that these preventions are going to stop these problems from happening, it can help other learn about the proper steps to handling these situations. I personally think that as much as employers suggest different way, it's the job of the loss prevention team in every industry to construct a plan that address as many issues and conduct trainings that would help to prepare us for these occasions. Trainings are going to be the best way to properly analyze a problem and improve on the emergency plan set.

  • When it comes to this pandemic, timing is everything
  • The earlier you start showing that you are there for your customers during their time of need, the more likely they will keep you top of mind to return to you as business returns to normal.
  • For businesses and properties that have remained staffed throughout the crisis and are ready to receive travelers immediately, earlier ignition of marketing efforts will make sense. On the other hand, those that furloughed employees will have to ensure that they’ve properly reinstated and ramped up operations before aggressively seeking new bookings.
  • Are you only able to ramp your marketing spend back up if you can do so at the same profitability level to which you’d become accustomed pre-pandemic? Or are you looking to get business flowing again even at a temporarily lower profitability rate?
  • For some brands, getting customers re-engaged with their brands, even at a near-break-even rate, will be worth the effort,
  • Countries where COVID-19 struck hard more recently will see later recoveries, with the United States likely being one of the last to reopen fully for travel.
  • Again, the ramp-up of activity will, in all likelihood, follow a pattern similar to the regional turn-off of campaigns
  • When demand spikes again, the need to shift share will be greater than ever. In ramping activities back up, the first thing brands should consider is staying active on their social channels. This is an audience who are predisposed to the brand and have a higher likelihood to engage.
  • Beyond that, travel brands should also be looking internally to determine what improvements can be made now to improve ROAS in the future. This time adds a unique opportunity for brands to experiment with different advertising methods that they wouldn’t typically try.

    This article talks about the hotel industry and the inside scoop on their efforts to getting back out their and marketing themselves after COVID-19. There are a few things they need to consider while they are beginning to strategize their plan. One of them is timing. If the company remained staff, then they may begin marketing faster than those that furloughed employees. In that case, they may need to get that together before they invest in marketing. Another item to consider are their goals. Companies must think about what they can afford. They need to think about if they are able to have some leeway and able to take things slower, even if it means breaking even for a while or does your company absolutely need to be at the same profitability level pre-pandemic? Another consideration would be regions. Certain regions were hit harder than others. Therefore, recovery will be by a case by case basis. Some regions will be able to market and get back to business faster than others. Yet another consideration is channels. This refers to social media and other types of media in order to market. Travelers follow many travel pages on social media, therefore this should be a priority when trying to ramp up customer traffic again. All-in-all, the travel and hotel industry will make a comeback. Although it will be a slow comeback, the industry will prevail just as it has before.

  • A HRIS contains highly sensitive data, including employees’ social security numbers, payroll information, and even medical information. Information leaks and data breaches of the HRIS can be detrimental to individual employees and your organization as a whole. As such, it is important to take steps to make sure that that information is as safe as possible, from both internal and external threats.
  • When you are looking to purchase a new HRIS, look into the reviews and pay close attention to what other companies say about the security of the software.
  • All HRIS vendors take precautions to keep company data safe, but the quality of their security measures may vary.

  • Before the system goes live, create a few fake employees and test the system to see what you can access. This way you can identify any weak points in the system and work out the bugs before giving everyone access to the system.
  • it is important to understand that breaches can still occur. Having a disaster recovery plan in place will minimize the amount of time that your system is down and help to re-secure your data faster. There should be clear procedures in place for responding to a data breach so that the right employees know what to do in the event of a breach.
  • Having a plan in place can make it quicker and easier to recover from a breach, helping to secure information before further damage can be done and resolving issues stemming from the breach.

  • n the hotel industry there is an urgency not only to go greener but also to become more tech-friendly, according to recent research by energy leaders E.ON.
  • The first stage is to check the rate at which they’re paying for energy, and to get a greater sense of how much their business is affected by this cost. The second is to address the easiest fixes to bring that cost down – such as replacing inefficient bulbs or heaters and minimising wasted heat or light. The third is to put energy at the heart of the business’s strategy and to make committed investments that promise long-term reward, such as installing solar panels, or investing in waste heat-recovery systems to slash heating costs.
  • The changes in travelling habits and the demands of guests will have a significant impact on hotels both small and large,” says Phil Gilbert, director of energy solutions at E.O

    This article discusses the push that is happening for hotels to "go green" and "tech-friendly". Travelers have more of a preference for eco-friendly/tech friendly hotels when booking. For example, guests now prefer wifi more than complimentary breakfast. Another example that guests are searching for sustainability usage was important to them. In a survey done one in five woule stay in a boutique hotel if it used renewable energy sources. The article examines the desires for guests and their preferences for hotels and how hotels can adjust to this change. To meet these demands, hotels can address what are easy fixes such minimizing wasted heat or light. Another way hotels can hop on in this movement is by investing in systems that are eco-friendly such as waste heat-recovery systems. Investing in energy solutions will meet customer demands and help save the environment.

  • Top benefits of cloud computing Cloud computing is a big shift from the traditional way businesses think about IT resources. Here are seven common reasons organizations are turning to cloud computing services: Cost Cloud computing eliminates the capital expense of buying hardware and software and setting up and running on-site datacenters—the racks of servers, the round-the-clock electricity for power and cooling, and the IT experts for managing the infrastructure. It adds up fast. Speed Most cloud computing services are provided self service and on demand, so even vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, typically with just a few mouse clicks, giving businesses a lot of flexibility and taking the pressure off capacity planning. Global scale The benefits of cloud computing services include the ability to scale elastically. In cloud speak, that means delivering the right amount of IT resources—for example, more or less computing power, storage, bandwidth—right when they’re needed, and from the right geographic location. Productivity On-site datacenters typically require a lot of “racking and stacking”—hardware setup, software patching, and other time-consuming IT management chores. Cloud computing removes the need for many of these tasks, so IT teams can spend time on achieving more important business goals. Performance The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure datacenters, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware. This offers several benefits over a single corporate datacenter, including reduced network latency for applications and greater economies of scale. Reliability Cloud computing makes data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity easier and less expensive because data can be mirrored at multiple redundant sites on the cloud provider’s network. Security Many cloud providers offer a broad set of policies, technologies, and controls that strengthen your security posture overall, helping protect your data, apps, and infrastructure from potential threats.

  • The need for agile hotel distribution is more important now than ever, as the hotel industry continues to strategize and map out roads to recovery across every segment of the market amidst Covid.
  • We, as an industry, should look at this as an opportunity to better position ourselves, while thinking about both short- and long-term distribution strategies.  Hoteliers’ abilities to quickly move – and fail – then pivot, will help lead the way for our industry’s recovery.
  • Instead, what does come to mind is the brain power and wealth of tribal knowledge that hoteliers will need to leverage over the next few quarters and years to optimize revenue.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • The first step in getting your organization to wrap their heads around an agile distribution framework is getting buy in from leadership and owners. For any agile strategy to be successful, the organization must require patience and execution across all levels of the organization.
  • Your goal is to build distribution and channel strategies for profitability. Hoteliers should look at net revenue per available room (Net RevPAR) or gross operating profit per available room (GOPPAR) instead of RevPAR when making this analysis.
  • hoteliers should analyze the total cost of a direct booking by including costs of loyalty programs, website development and maintenance, marketing and social media campaigns, and call centers.
  • the who, where and when, but to truly optimize channels for profitability, you must get the “why”. The “why” offers insights on path-to-purchase behavioral data and conversion metrics, which allow customer segmentations for a profitable and deliberate distribution strategy.
  • hoteliers should look at the full contribution from each channel and prioritize channels that bring guests with the highest ancillary spend – think Total Revenue Management.
  • Hoteliers that stay agile and attentive on pulling the inventory levers within their distribution and channel strategies will lead the way (and lead with rate) to recovery.

  • , healthcare organizations need to be reviewing and discussing their data protection strategies as more work shifts into the remote environment to ensure they’re protected in the event of a compromise.
  • “It is a critical time to make sure all your data is backed up, especially as many of the company assets are moving out of the office,” he added. “If it’s critical to always have your systems running and you could not afford the downtime to rebuild your systems, you need more than just cloud backup and would need to implement a disaster recovery solution to continue your operations with minimal downtime.”
