No single fix for cybercrime
Travel companies should use a combination of solutions to protect themselves from cyber crime, including staff training, antivirus software and “phrase” passwords, according to a cyber security expert.
Speaking at the Aito Overseas Conference in Evora, Portugal, Stephen Hall, managing consultant in governance, risk and compliance, Acuity Group, said there was “no such thing as 100% protection” against cyber attacks such as ransomware or phishing.
He said: “Cyber security is about a combination of solutions rather than a single fix. A lot of it comes down to security awareness – reputational damage can destroy a business over time.”
