Cybersecurity influence on Cuban tourism

Abstract

Throughout history, Cuba has constantly been the victim of all kinds of attacks against national security. Among them, it is important to mention cyberattacks, which have put countless Cuban entities at risk. One of the most vulnerable sectors in terms of cybersecurity is the tourism sector, this is because, within it, connectivity and personal or confidential data play a crucial role in processes such as: reservations, purchases, accommodation, collection of customer information. For all the above, the main objective of this work is the study of techniques that allow raising the levels of cybersecurity in the Cuban tourism sector through the logical-deductive research method. The results are a series of practices that will contribute to Cuba having a system of action against cyber threats, based on risk assessment, which allow mitigating cyberattacks in companies in the tourism sector.
