why hospitality business hotel should invest in information security

/in /by

The foundation of having a hospitality business is to have a good image about the offered services; therefore, establishing a good reputation would add more success and give more value to the business. Investing in a good information security for a hotel business will protect the business info from being attacked and exposed to the public. Also, it will benefit the business for the long term since customers will have a trust in this business by sharing their information with no fear. Therefore, there are some crucial points that have to be taken in consideration to make the business run during the whole year and not seasonal only:

  • Enhanced work production and association competence
  • improved decision creation
  • minimizing the cost of procedure
  • maximize the accuracy of info
  • provide excellent customer service
  • increase profit

The main danger that the hospitality information security might face is system integration. Therefore, the IT manager and the whole team have to be ready for that by implementing security measures for the data, software, and the hardware. Also, they have to be ready for the interior and exterior attack that could happen from viruses, and thefts. It is very critical to have a backup of data since it is saved in one spot and it would be easy to be stolen. The most recommended server for a hospitality business is server- based since it is quicker in terms of time reply, the capability to increase network and server volumes, and well regulator for the data.

The hospitality industry generates roughly 550 billion dollars annually (Miteva, 2017). That amount in revenue might be the main reason hotels are one of the biggest targets of credit card breaches and data theft (Miteva, 2017). A breach of customer credit card information would cause immense damage to the image of our organization. 40% of all data breaches that happen worldwide originate from the hospitality industry. The risk and high probability of a breach occurring warrants an investment in information security. There are best practices and IT security standards we should consider implementing including PCI-DSS.

Migrating our existing network towards a cloud-based solution would help minimize our operating expenses. This is possible because we would only have to pay for the services we use. For example, Microsoft Azure offers a service called Platform as a Service (PaaS) which when they host and maintain all of the servers, OSs, storage, networking, security and databases for each of their clients. There are other services like IaaS and SaaS which give the client more control. We need insure that we implement some type of mechanism of protection like a virtual private network (VPN) as these services do operate over the Internet. We also should request a service level agreement (SLA). A cloud-based solution gives us flexibility (Taylor, 2018).

The whole paragraph above is the synopsis that we did as a group and now we have to do the project. My portion of this project is to write about 2 points and they are Increased Customer Confidence and Security of Valuable Data, I will need to have at least 3 pages to talk about these points with 2 references. I hope this information is enough for you to write about them and the way that can be implemented to the hospitality business.

Let me know if you need more info and I appreciate it.

Also, include at least one external link on at least one of the two pages. Organize the content on each page in a way that is easy to read and save the pages again.
  2. Create an external style sheet to apply the following styles:
    • the color red to all h1 headings
    • the color blue to all h2 headings
    • the color green and the font Arial to all paragraphs
    • the font Cursive to all ordered lists
    • the font size 28px to all bulleted lists
    • a solid border around all tables
    • a solid border and a background color of purple to all cells within a table
  3. Create classes to style specific tags as follows:
    • Change the background color of one of the cells in the table to orange
    • Change the text color of one of the items in the unordered (bulleted) list to orange
    • Change the font of one of the items in the ordered (numbered) list to Arial
  4. Do not include any embedded or inline tags in your code. All styles should be applied using an external style sheet and classes. The completed external style sheet (css) should contain 7 tags and 3 classes.
  5. Save the style sheet as styles.css.
  6. Link the external style sheet to both the movies page and the hobbies page and apply the classes to the appropriate tags in each page.
  7. Save both Web pages (movies.html and hobbies.html) again.
  8. Validate both Web pages (movies.html and hobbies.html) using the World Wide Web Consortium validation site. Apply HTML5 validation.
  9. Upload your two Web pages as well as the two image files and the css file to myDrive. Instructions for doing so can be found here.
  10. Check both html files and make sure they render as you intended and that all the links work.
  11. Submit the URL (http://mydrive.nvcc.edu/username/public/) using the Movies and Hobbies Web Site link at the end of this unit. The username in the URL is your Blackboard username.

racism milestone 2

“SOC 213 Part I Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric The field of sociology presents a unique perspective to viewing the world ’ s social problems. Social problems tend to be viewed solely as individual constructs and responsibilities, but sociologists take a deeper dive into the complex set of variables driving the development of these problems using various theoretical perspectives. As these problems surface in individual lives, the workplace, and communities, a sociological perspective is valuable for providing a framework for deeper investigation of variables and limiting personal biases when analyzing problems. Prompt: Submit a draft of the Research and Approach sections, addressing all critical elements from Sections II and III below. You will use your research to help determine the social variables that have come together to create and sustain your social problem. You should use these variables to brainstorm some potential solutions. As a social researcher, you must also investigate your own biases. Think about why this social problem matters to you or how it impacts you. What stereotypes or assumptions do you have regarding this social problem? How did you learn about these stereotypes or biases? After investigating how your own biases may impact your research, you will select a sociological theory to help you analyze the problem from a theoretical, structured, and unbiased point of view. Use this theoretical lens to help explain your problem. Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed: II. Research : In order to further understand the social problem, you will conduct some research on its influences, impacts, and attempted solutions. A. Identify social variables and determinants that have influenced the development of the social problem and explain their influence. Support your explanations with resources. B. Explain how the social variables and determinants influencing the development of the social problem vary depending on whether the social problem is local or global . In other words, are the previously identified social variables and determinants influencing the social problem the same or different as the social variables and determinants influencing the social problem in another country. Provide specific examples. C. Describe attempted solutions to the identified social problem that failed and explain why the attempted solutions might have been unsuccessful, supporting with resources. D. Describe the attempted solutions which were successful in addressing the identified social problem, or a similar social problem, and identify best practices based on these successful solutions. Be sure to support with resources. III. Approach : In this section, you will sift through your personal biases, with the aim of limiting such biases in your later analysis. A. Describe how people generally tend to talk about this social problem and how these approaches are problematic, supporting with resources. What stereotypes , biases, and assumptions are at play? B. Reflect on your own biases and assumptions around the issue and how these may affect your analysis of the issue. Everyone has certain preconceived notions about social issues. What are yours, and how might they influence your analysis? C. Explain how you will use sociological theory to limit your biases when you analyze the social problem. How can the theory help you limit your biases? Provide a specific example. Rubric Guidelines for Submission: The draft of your Research and Approach sections must be submitted as a single 1 – 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and any sources cited in APA format.”
