ProVision Partners' Strategic Advisor Daniel Johnson Selected to Join Expert Panel on Cybersecurity at HITEC 2025 in Indianapolis
Dallas, TX - ProVision Partners ('ProVision'), a leading global strategic growth marketing, technology, and commercial services advisory firm to the travel and hospitality industry, today announces that Daniel Johnson, Strategic Advisor - EMEA, will participate in an educational session focused on hotel data security at the upcoming HITEC Conference. The panel, titled "Building a Hospitality Cybersecurity Culture: From Frontline to C-Suite," is scheduled to take place on Monday, June 16, from 9:00 AM to 10:15 AM at HITEC, hosted in rooms 127-128 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.
Taking place June 16-19, HITEC is the world's largest and longest-running annual event for the hospitality technology industry. Produced by Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP®), a global nonprofit hospitality association, HITEC provides attendees with access to the latest hospitality technology innovations, industry experts and educational resources.
In recent years, data security has become a paramount concern in the hospitality industry. Recent reports indicate that nearly 31% of hospitality organizations have experienced a data breach, with 89% of those affected encountering multiple breaches within a single year. The average cost of a hospitality data breach rose to $3.82 million in 2024, marking a 13% increase from the previous year. These alarming trends highlight the necessity for robust cybersecurity measures across all levels of hotel operations. The upcoming HITEC session will provide attendees with actionable strategies to enhance data security, manage third-party IT collaborations effectively, and address staffing challenges in cybersecurity.
Johnson, an accomplished hospitality technology expert who was recently appointed as Strategic Advisor - EMEA at ProVision Partners, joins several other distinguished industry leaders, including Ajay Aluri (Nemacolin Hospitality Innovation and Technology Lab), Rajan Gupta (Centelli), and Eric Howland (Hyatt Hotels Corporation). Johnson brings over two decades of experience in cybersecurity, data protection, and strategic consulting. He previously co-founded VENZA, a leading provider of data protection and compliance solutions, serving as CEO and leading the company's strategic growth internationally.
Attendees of the session at HITEC will learn to:
Create impactful security awareness programs integrated into daily hotel workflows
Classify data sensitivity effectively and implement appropriate safeguards
Utilize strategic frameworks for cybersecurity readiness and managing third-party risks
Daniel's expertise in hospitality technology and cybersecurity is invaluable, particularly in today's increasingly complex digital landscape. We're thrilled to have him represent ProVision Partners on this important panel at HITEC. David Chestler, President of ProVision Partners
