The hospitality industry runs on trust. Hotels, resorts, and travel companies hold guest identities, payment data, loyalty histories, and the digital touchpoints that shape the entire guest experience. The sector has also become a prime target for cyberattacks. That pressure makes the work of CISOs more important than ever. They guide global brands, rebuild resilience after major incidents, and shape how hospitality companies protect guest data at scale.
