The recent revelation by Microsoft of a highly sophisticated phishing campaign targeting the hospitality industry underscores the necessity for robust cybersecurity controls. The campaign, conducted by the group Storm-1865, involves fraudulent emails claiming to be from Booking.com to distribute credential-stealing malware and facilitate financial fraud, as reported by The Citizen

At New Dawn Technologies (NDT), we know the increasing business risks, especially in the hospitality industry. Our comprehensive range of services aims to safeguard organisations against such cyber risks.

Our Approach to Cybersecurity:

• Advanced Threat Detection: We actively identify and neutralise possible threats using advanced data science and machine learning techniques before they can cause damage.

• Employee Awareness and Training: Since it is well known that human error is typically the entry point for cyber-attacks, customised training modules are provided to equip staff with the insight required to identify and act on phishing attacks and other cyber-attacks.

• Strong Infrastructure Solutions: Whether cloud-based or on-premises, our solutions are built with security at their core, incorporating advanced measures to reduce risks of data breaches and unauthorised access. Additionally, all data remains securely within South African borders, ensuring sensitive information is protected and complies with local regulations.

The hospitality sector, with its widespread processing of sensitive guest information, continues to be one of the favourite targets of cybercriminals. Adopting rigorous cybersecurity measures is not just a technical requirement but a crucial element in sustaining guest trust and business reputation.

At NDT, we are committed to working hand in hand with companies in navigating the intricate cybersecurity landscape, providing innovative as well as tailored solutions to the distinct needs of South Africa’s hospitality industry.
