Data breaches are at an all time high, up 45 percent from 2016, and hotels are a prime target. Accommodations, which includes hotels and restaurants, top the list for point-of-sale cyber breaches with the average cost of investigations being $735,000, increasing in cost based on the size of the company.
Hotel owners and managers need to be protected and prepared for when a data breach occurs. Distinguished Programs’ Senior Vice President, Kurt Meister, sat down with Hotel Business to discuss what steps to take when a breach happens – from evaluating your risks, preparing your hotel to respond, what to look for when searching for proper cyber liability coverage, and how to reduce cyber risks from occurring in the first place.
