The hospitality industry remains one of the most targeted by cyber criminals. That's why Thayer Lodging Group, which owns or operates 18 hotels, knew it was time to get serious about endpoint security.
The Federal Trade Commission is alleging that the hotel chain failed to implement basic security practices, which led to a number of costly data-leakage incidents.
As the technical evaluator for more than 200 wireless developer partners, my laptop was an espionage goldmine and I knew it. So I made a point not to bring it.
Hotels are the spots where industrial spies used to crouch like lions around a waterhole on the business savannah. Do these old school threats still exist?
