In the October 2026 issue of Industrie Hôtelière, Scovery co-founder Thomas Gayet explains why hotel security also covers connected equipment and the service providers that manage it.
Connected locks, kitchen equipment and building management systems all belong within the security perimeter. Forgotten devices or poorly controlled remote access can directly disrupt operations: opening rooms, serving meals and welcoming guests.
The interview encourages teams to identify equipment accessible from the internet, check who can access it remotely and ensure it still receives security updates. Separating guest, internal and technical networks is another essential measure.
Accurate inventories, strong authentication, up-to-date backups and regular security updates complete this approach to cyber hygiene. With Scovery, organisations can identify exposed equipment and better understand their level of risk.
