The hospitality sector is undergoing a digital revolution—unfortunately, so are the cybercriminals targeting it.
Hotels, resorts, and casinos are embracing digital transformation, personalized guest services, and cloud-based booking platforms to elevate the guest experience. But with that innovation comes a sprawling attack surface.
Trustwave SpiderLabs’ 2025 Hospitality Threat Research Series investigates the real-world breaches, Dark Web activity, and emerging threat patterns that are redefining risk across the industry. From ransomware to rogue bookings to credential stuffing, hospitality is being exploited in increasingly coordinated and commercialized ways.
This exclusive research series reveals how cybercriminals are monetizing hospitality vulnerabilities and what you can do to stop them.
Key findings include:
“I'm thrilled to see that Trustwave recognizes the unique threats to the hospitality industry and focused an entire Threat Briefing to our space. Cyber security and hospitality often create a "cultural conflict." Hospitalitarians strive to go above and beyond for our guests - we are by design "hospitable". That desire to be helpful to our guests often conflicts with the need to be cyber aware.”
