VENZA, a leading provider of data protection and regulatory compliance solutions for the hospitality industry, today unveiled its latest data protection and cybersecurity training course, “AI Applications in Data Security.” This course extends VENZA’s comprehensive training library to cover emerging AI-driven threats and AI-powered defenses, bringing its clients current, in-depth, advanced training on one of the most central technological changes affecting hoteliers.

“AI is rapidly transforming the operational efficiency in hospitality and introducing novel threats and vulnerabilities at an unprecedented scale,” said Casey Harrigan, Product Director at VENZA. “At VENZA, navigating our hotel partners through evolving challenges is at the core of our mission to provide industry-leading security and compliance solutions. Our new ‘AI Applications in Data Security’ course furthers this by equipping hoteliers with essential strategies to mitigate the potential threats and regulatory complications posed by AI.”  

"AI Applications in Data Security" offers an in-depth examination of the many challenges and opportunities AI brings to hospitality. Topics covered include rising threats like AI-powered phishing and deepfake attacks, as well as vulnerabilities inherent in AI systems and tools. The training also highlights industry best practices for securing AI technologies and how to ensure compliance with data privacy regulations such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and recently passed AI-specific legislation.

VENZA’s newly available AI training course comes shortly after the recent release of “GDPR for Hoteliers,” a course offering detailed instruction on the landmark European Union data protection law. Both courses are available as components of the VENZA Learning™ Content Library, complementing VENZA’s core security awareness programs with extensive in-depth coverage on topics like device security, social engineering, U.S. data privacy laws, and more. Elective courses can be assigned individually or adopted into a broader curriculum to match the unique needs of a each property’s training strategy.

“Hospitality stands apart from other industries, confronting unique threats and challenges that are unmatched in other sectors,” said Harrigan. “The ongoing expansion of the VENZA Learning™ Content Library delivers upon VENZA’s core commitment to providing tailored, cutting-edge training solutions, empowering hoteliers to stay ahead of ever-evolving data protection and security challenges.”

All elective courses are accessible via the VENZA PEAK™ Learning Management System. For more information on the "AI Applications in Data Security" or "GDPR for Hoteliers" courses, contact bettervisibility@venzagroup.com.
