This Summer, Hackers Are on the Move—But Hotels with MSSPs Are 80% More Likely to Fight Back Fast
According to new VikingCloud research, 82% of North American hotels were hit with a cyberattack last summer. But the real difference-maker? Hotels that partnered with a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) were over 80% more likely to resolve incidents in under 12 hours, minimizing downtime, losses, and disruption to guest experiences.
That speed matters—because cybercriminals are already circling this summer's travel surge. And most hotels aren’t ready.
VikingCloud’s Peak Season, Peak Risk: 2025 State of Hospitality Cyber Report reveals urgent findings, including:
- 66% of hotel IT and security executives expect more frequent attacks this summer, with 50% predicting they’ll be more severe.
- Guest-facing tech tops the risk list: payment/POS systems (72%), guest Wi-Fi (56%), and front desk systems (34%).
- Leading threats include data breaches exposing sensitive guest information (46%), phishing attacks (40%), and Wi-Fi misuse or compromise (38%).
- Nearly half of hotels admit their staff can’t confidently detect AI-powered threats.
The takeaway: You can’t stop every attack—but with the right partner, you can stop the damage from spiraling.
