Threats targeted at the hospitality sector are evolving with unprecedented speed and sophistication. With new franchised hotels being added regularly to the growing Mercan Properties portfolio, we found it crucial to protect all our hospitality assets by taking control of threat detection and response.

Palo Alto is an American cybersecurity multinational company focusing on developing a platform that includes advanced firewalls and cloud-based offerings that extend these firewalls to cover other security aspects. In an interview, Marco Correia, Chief of Information at Mercan Properties, and João Bastos, IT Manager, explain how the technology “Unit 42 Managed Detection and Response” is positively handling cyberattacks in all Mercan hotels.
