VENZA, the leading provider of data protection and regulatory compliance solutions for the hospitality industry, announced today it will champion cybersecurity education by joining the 21st Annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month—the world’s foremost initiative dedicated to promoting cybersecurity awareness and best practices.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month, held each October since 2004, is a collaborative initiative that unites businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, nonprofits, associations, tribal communities, and individuals in a shared mission to educate others about online safety.

“VENZA is proud to be a 2024 Champion for Cybersecurity Awareness Month,” said Dominique Williams, Director of Operations at VENZA. “We believe that this month serves as an important reminder of the importance of remaining safe online. However, our commitment to cybersecurity education also extends far beyond the month of October. We are deeply dedicated to making cybersecurity best practices second nature for our hotel clients year-round, ensuring the protection of both their businesses and their guests.”

Cybersecurity Awareness Month seeks to address emerging cybersecurity challenges by offering clear, actionable guidance to foster a safer digital environment. This year’s theme, “Secure Our World,” promotes individual online safety by following four key steps:

• Using password managers.
• Enabling multifactor authentication (MFA).
• Identifying and reporting phishing.
• Installing regular software updates.

“These four key principles are major components of a strong cybersecurity foundation,” said David Christiansen, Chief Information Officer at VENZA. “In a rapidly changing digital landscape where new threats emerge daily, it’s more important than ever to stay vigilant. At VENZA, we’re proud to play a role in educating both individuals and businesses on these essential practices, empowering them to build a safer and more secure online environment for everyone.”

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a global educational initiative promoted by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance.
