Darren Gale, vice-president of IronNet Cyber Security, told delegates at the 2023 TTI Travel Tech Summit on Thursday (23 March) all businesses – no matter the size – are under threat from "more sophisticated" digital attacks. 

"If you’re a small company, you’re not excluded from being attacked, it’s the same risk as if you were a large company," Gale warned. 

"I can guarantee travel is being focussed on by these threats because of the industry’s data sets and their desirability, as well as the transaction volumes associated with holiday bookings."
