Cyber security in the hospitality, leisure and tourism sector
The hospitality, leisure and tourism sector handles vast amounts of personal and financial data every day, from booking details and payment information to passport numbers and travel itineraries. That makes it a consistently attractive target for cybercriminals.
High staff turnover, seasonal workforces and a heavy reliance on third-party platforms all create vulnerabilities that attackers are quick to exploit. With customer trust so hard to rebuild once it is lost, the consequences of getting security wrong extend far beyond the immediate financial impact.
Every sector is different, this includes the specific cyber challenges.

Pharmacy2U
Founder
WorkNest Secure stand out in the field of penetration testing due to the skillset of people they have working there. We undertook a complex bespoke pentest with them, which required a lot of pre-work in order to make sure it was scoped correctly, and they took the time to come onsite to make sure all was correct prior to commencing.
From my experience with them, they are very intelligent people with a deep understanding of the security landscape, and we will continue to use them for future testing requirements.
