In hospitality, your email and cloud accounts are more than just communication tools — they’re the backbone of your guest experience and operations. Without multi-factor authentication (MFA) or two-factor authentication (2FA), you’re leaving the door wide open to cybercriminals.
The Risk:
A single compromised email account can lead to:
- Guest booking fraud.
- Unauthorised access to PMS or POS systems.
- GDPR breaches and costly fines.
The Solution:
- Enable MFA/2FA for every user on email and cloud services.
- Use an authenticator app, not just SMS.
- Review access logs regularly for unusual activity.
Why It Matters for Hotels:
Hospitality staff often work across devices and locations, increasing the attack surface. MFA drastically reduces the risk of phishing attacks and account takeover.
At Hotel IT Company, we provide hotel IT support to ensure security measures like MFA are correctly configured on every account — so your staff can focus on guests, not hackers.
