Hotel Wifi Security
The challenge of ensuring hotel WiFi security
Fast growth in hospitality WiFi technology has provided hospitality IT teams with a whole new challenge: ensuring hotel WiFi security.
The hospitality industry has realized that hotel wireless services play a big role in providing exceptional experiences for guests. When ranking the amenities they look for in a hotel, guests cite free hotel WiFi services as their top pick,i and report that strong WiFi connectivity is an integral part of a positive hotel experience.ii
Installing and managing a WiFi hotel system for access throughout a hotel property is one thing, but effectively managing hotel WiFi security is quite another. Hotels must not only take steps to protect sensitive data residing on their own computers and servers, but to protect guests from viruses, malware and other forms of malicious attack. When the hotel network and thousands of guests can be compromised by a single click of one guest on a malicious link, hotel WiFi security becomes incredibly complicated.
