In the dynamic world of European hospitality, where digital check-ins, online bookings, seasonality and connected guest services are the norm, cybersecurity is no longer just a back-office concern - it’s mission-critical. At HBX Group, we understand the evolving landscape hotels operate in. As properties embrace contactless technologies and cloud-based systems to enhance the guest experience, they’re also expanding the digital surface vulnerable to cyber threats. The numbers speak volumes: the average cost of a breach in the hospitality industry is $3.82 million, and 89% of those breached report being hit more than once in a single year. The Reality: Hotels Are Prime Targets Hotels have become increasingly attractive to cybercriminals due to the vast amount of sensitive data they manage. From payment card information to passport details, this valuable data makes them ideal marks for ransomware, phishing attacks, and data breaches. The most common threats include: • Phishing & Social Engineering: Tricking employees into revealing credentials.• Ransomware: Locking systems like bookings or payments until a ransom is paid.• Data Security Breaches: Stealing guest information to sell on the dark web. Why Hospitality Faces Unique Cybersecurity Challenges The hospitality sector in Europe faces a perfect storm of risk factors: • Contactless Technology: While convenient, it can open new cyber-attack vectors.• Open Networks: High guest turnover often leaves networks exposed.• Seasonal Staff: Frequent turnover leads to inconsistent cybersecurity training.• Fragmented IT Systems: Multiple property management systems across regions increase vulnerability. Read more about cybersecurity threats to the hospitality industry here. Our Solution: Proactive Cyber Risk Assessment In partnership with Wallbid, we’re offering our hotel partners in Europe a tailored Cyber Risk Assessment.

Don’t wait for a breach to act—assess your vulnerabilities now and get ahead of threats before they happen. Because in hospitality, trust is everything. And in the digital age, trust starts with cybersecurity. Ready to start improving your digital defences?

London, 25 June, 2025 – HBX Group (HBX.SM), a leading independent B2B travel technology marketplace, has partnered with Wallbid, a world class embedded insurance provider backed by Fairfax, to provide hospitality businesses access to Cybersential, a cyber risk assessment service specifically designed for the hospitality sector, powered by Wallbid ecosystem partners. The initiative is part of HBX Group’s ongoing commitment to support hotel partners with solutions that reflect the realities of today’s increasingly digital operating environment and will be available to businesses in Europe. As hotels rely more heavily on technology to manage bookings, payments, and guest services making their digital infrastructure mission-critical to their daily operations, they’re also becoming more exposed to cyber threats, making the need for proactive cyber risk assessment and protection more urgent than ever before. Data breaches, phishing scams, and ransomware attacks are no longer rare events, they’re persistent risks that can disrupt operations, damage reputation, and lead to serious financial consequences. To help address this growing concern, Cybersential will allow hotel partners to identify vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and implement proactive cybersecurity measures. By acting early, hotels can prevent costly disruptions, protect sensitive guest data, and demonstrate responsibility when it comes to handling information. The assessment also supports compliance with data protection regulations, which are becoming more stringent across markets. The assessment includes a review of each hotel’s digital infrastructure, identifying potential vulnerabilities such as exposed credentials or unsecured systems. The findings are compiled into a risk report, complete with a cybersecurity score and expert guidance on where to focus improvements. For those who want added protection, access to cyber insurance coverage can also be provided to help mitigate potential financial losses in case of an incident. Paula Felstead, Chief Information Officer at HBX Group, said: “Hotels are managing increasingly complex digital environments. With this service, we’re giving hotels a clear, actionable way to understand their exposure and take steps to improve. It’s part of our broader effort to help partners not just grow but do it securely." Maria Giannousa, Chief of Sales Operations & Customer Success at Wallbid Group, said: “As the hospitality sector rapidly embraces digitalization, cyber resilience is no longer optional, it’s essential. Our partnership with HBX Group marks a key step in making embedded cyber protection accessible and actionable. By helping thousands of hotels and travel agents understand their risk and protect against it, we’re enabling them to build digital trust, safeguard operations and future-proof their growth." The service is now available through the HBX Group platform.
