  • “Our practice guide documents how we enabled cybersecurity concepts such as zero trust architecture, moving target defense, tokenization of credit card data, and role-based authentication in a reference design that addresses cybersecurity and privacy risk
  • hospitality ranked third among industries compromised by cybersecurity breaches in 2019, and the industry suffered 13% of the total incidents

    Hospitality was ranked third in the top five industries to be comprised by cybersecurity breaches in 2019. Over half the breaches were attacks on on site property servers. NIST offers a guide to hotel owners to reduce risk of cyber attacks. Their guides addresses cyber and privacy risk on PMS. The PMS design protects data moving in the environment and prevents user access. Zero trust architecture requires authentication and authorization of both subject and device to access a network's resources.
