Hospitality Is Evolving. So Are the Risks
The hospitality industry is rapidly transforming amid shifting consumer expectations, rising operational costs, and growing competition. From expanding menus and digital enablement to workforce management and third-party integrations, hotels and restaurants are embracing innovation to stay ahead. But as businesses adopt AI, IoT, and contactless technologies to enhance service and streamline operations, they also face increased cybersecurity risks and a growing attack surface. Armis helps hospitality organizations manage digital transformation securely, with complete visibility, risk prioritization, and cyber exposure management at scale.
Overcoming the Cybersecurity Asset Management Challenge
Travel and Hospitality Challenges
The cybersecurity challenges facing the hospitality industry are unique. Armis Centrix™ helps solve those challenges and improve overall security.
Lack of Comprehensive Asset Visibility
Hospitality businesses manage vast networks of connected devices, from POS systems and IoT-
enabled smart devices to reservation platforms and guest Wi-Fi. Without a centralized platform to track these assets, businesses struggle to maintain security and compliance.
Threat Identification, Prioritization and Response
Security teams often lack the ability to quickly identify, contextualize, prioritize and remediate threats. The inability to prioritize vulnerabilities and other security issues leaves systems cyber exposed.
Staying Compliant in a Connected World
From PCI DSS and GDPR to local data privacy and health regulations, the hospitality industry faces increasing pressure to maintain regulatory compliance across digital and physical operations. As hotels, restaurants, and resorts adopt smart technologies and third-party services, ensuring compliance with evolving security and privacy mandates is more critical than ever.
