🔒 Secure your hospitality accounts by avoiding phishing scams—don't use search engines for login pages, check URLs carefully, and report suspicions. Create strong, unique passwords without sharing them and consider using a password manager for better security. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for an extra protection layer, and stay alert to new device logins with alerts and access control. Train your team to recognize cyber threats and reduce errors. Use Single Sign-On (SSO) for simplified access with increased control. Mews provides resources on these security practices to help keep your business safe.
