VENZA announced the release of a themed article series and monthly email digest—the VENZA Echo. The Echo will fulfill the critical client need for timely information about the industry and emerging cybersecurity threats, while allowing VENZA to provide additional value through its thought leadership.

Articles for the VENZA Echo will be published weekly on VENZA’s website and distributed on social media. Each month will have a unique overarching theme that sets a broad topic for the writing.

February 2023’s theme is the “Critical Security Series” which will provide an in-depth look at the most important cybersecurity threats facing the hospitality industry in 2023.  Several articles on this topic are already available, including “Cat and Mouse: Hacking MFA and How to Stay Ahead,” “Approaching Ransomware Practically: Concrete Tips for Staying Secure in 2023,” “Security Alert: Slack Data Breach,” and “These Are the Droids You’re Looking For: ChatGPT and the Hospitality Industry.”

VENZA Echo articles will be packaged into a digest and emailed to subscribers monthly. Along with articles, the Echo digest will include company news, product updates, and information about upcoming events. Subscriptions to the VENZA Echo are free and can be requested online.

“The cybersecurity landscape is quickly changing and can seem overwhelming for clients,” said Barbara Espinosa, Product Marketing Director at VENZA. “We designed the Echo to cut through the noise and efficiently deliver the messages that hoteliers need most. The core theme—the Echo—expresses our intent to improve the clarity and practical usefulness of the news cycle by letting it reverberate off VENZA’s industry-leading experts and thought leaders. We’re excited to develop this feature over the coming year and continue to provide additional value to our clients.”

VENZA, the leading provider of data protection and regulatory compliance solutions to the hospitality industry, is one of fewer than 200 organizations that are accredited as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) by the PCI Security Standards Council to perform PCI DSS Assessments under the newest version 4.0 standard. VENZA’s staff includes many individuals with deep IT, data protection, and hospitality backgrounds. Collectively, this expertise drives VENZA’s training and learning content, including the VENZA Echo.
