Fazlanet Information Technologies CTO Barış Bayram emphasized the vital importance of using firewalls to ensure the cybersecurity of hotels and accommodation establishments. Bayram stated that hotels heavily rely on technology, which makes them vulnerable targets for cyber attacks.
Especially customer-oriented technologies like wi-fi services attract the attention of cyber attackers, according to Bayram. He said, ‘The use of firewalls is critical in ensuring network security. At Fazlanet Information Technologies, we protect our customers’ data and IT infrastructure by installing Berqnet Firewall produced by Timus.’

Legal obligations and the use of firewalls
Barış Bayram mentioned that it is a legal requirement for hotel and accommodation establishments to protect their customers’ sensitive data. Bayram noted that in accordance with Law No. 5651 on Logging, it is mandatory to securely store all connection records and be able to present them to judicial authorities when needed. He added, ‘Firewall devices not only prevent cyber attacks but also ensure secure internet access for users.’

Major hotel chains targeted
Bayram recalled that in recent years, major hotel chains worldwide have been targeted by cyber attacks. He pointed out that attacks on large hotel chains can lead to the theft of personal and financial information of millions of guests. Bayram emphasized that such incidents once again highlight the importance of cybersecurity. He stated, ‘Both large and small hotel and accommodation establishments are vulnerable to cyber attacks and must take necessary precautions.’

Avoid paying high costs while cutting corners
Barış Bayram highlighted the importance of the services they offer at Fazlanet, stating, ‘We commit to providing our customers with the highest level of security using Timus’ Berqnet Firewall solutions. We offer full support to businesses in protecting IT infrastructures, ensuring customer data security, and legal compliance. Cybersecurity is an indispensable element for customer satisfaction and business profitability.’

Barış Bayram, as Fazlanet Information Technologies Inc., mentioned that they also provide security insurance solutions for hotels through their partners. He said, ‘We offer all kinds of consultancy services to ensure that our customers’ IT infrastructures are protected and covered by insurance in potential legal sanctions. Information security is a comprehensive issue. Do not underestimate the problems you may encounter in this regard and the necessary precautions to be taken in advance.’ Bayram added that they aim to raise awareness among hotel and accommodation establishments regarding cybersecurity and implement the best practices in this field.
