Maintaining Data Security

Guests’ security in the hospitality industry, today, does not merely refer to physical safety but also involves protecting guest identity and mental peace of mind. With data breaches making headlines over the last few years the threat of misuse of stolen data has been a factor that is priority in the minds of the industry professionals. This is primarily due to two major factors: one, the hotels collect large amounts of data from their guests directly and through third parties; and two that the industry has a checkered track record in protecting guests’ personal information. There is, thus, a demand from the guests to focus strongly on data security. Though it is difficult for the hotels to escape data security threats in today’s fast moving, digitally charged environment, it is not an impossible task. With technologies that are continuously evolving to help hoteliers address their data security risks and concerns, the industry is now feeling a little relieved. Ashok Malkani takes a look at the current scenario and how the industry is tackling this issue.
