Join us on May 4th at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET for an in-depth discussion on Travel Data Security. We will be going over some security best practices for TMCs, CTDs, and Agencies. We will discuss security breaches, phishing, ransomware, and other common security issues. From there we will chat on how to mitigate your risk exposure through technology and by empowering employees with a stronger awareness of the everyday threats.
We will frame the conversation to make it relevant to the industry we live and breathe: travel. It is common for many in technology to have awareness of standard windows platforms and programs but we will also discuss if there are additional concerns around travel systems like GDS interfaces, back office databases, or transmitting information by SFTP (a typical way to transfer data).
