- Hospitality operations have a broad mixture of sophisticated technologies.
- Multiple hotel systems from different companies in the hospitality technology ecosystem creating greater vulnerability.
- The distributed nature of business units and technologies.
- High value data: guests personally identifying information, payment information, plans, habits and deep personal insights.
- High value industries and specifically targeted guests visit every day.
- The nature of financial transactions and vulnerabilities in the process.
- Information technology funding versus higher capitalized industries.
