Why Hospitality & Restaurants Need Security Now
Rising Cybercrime & Industry Vulnerability
Nearly 31% of hospitality organizations have experienced a data breach, with 89% suffering more than one in a year.
The average cost of a breach rose from $3.62M in 2023 to over $3.8M in 2024, with some incidents exceeding $5M.
82% of North American hotels were breached over peak season 2024, but those using managed security services resolved incidents more rapidly.
Guest & Employee Theft at Restaurants
Over 50% of employees admit theft at some point; internal theft remains a serious risk.
POS systems, guest Wi-Fi, and loyalty programs are frequent targets for fraud, phishing, and credential theft.
Guest Confidence & Liability
78% of travelers said security is a top priority when choosing accommodations.
Restaurants, bars, and hotel venues face increasing regulatory and reputational pressure after incidents — including data breaches or safety failures.
Top Security Considerations for Hospitality Managers
Segment guest-facing tech (POS, reservation systems) from backend or administrative networks.
Enforce strong password hygiene and multi-factor authentication across Wi-Fi and IoT devices.
Protect high-traffic areas like front desks, elevators, rooftop bars, and kitchen access points.
Train staff to recognize phishing and social engineering, particularly AI-driven impersonation attempts.
