Profit urges firms to adopt two anti-phishing systems
Travel businesses are being urged to cut the increasing risk of cybercrime in the sector by signing up to two free programmes to slash phishing emails and spam.
Industry body Prevention of Fraud in Travel (Profit) launched a campaign to promote the initiatives last week, both freely available through the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA).
The GCA is a not-for-profit organisation launched 18 months ago by the US Centre for Internet Security, the District Attorney of Manhattan, and City of London Police to partner businesses and governments to reduce cyber risk.
GCA executive director Rosemary Scully said: “Email is one of the most pervasive ways of gaining access [to a system] – 91% of hacking attacks begin with a phishing email.
