Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's tour operators could expose customer bookings, supplier payments and passenger data, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why tour operators are targeted: Operators pay hundreds of overseas suppliers, a constant target for invoice fraud, while holding complete passenger records.
