Matt Talks Hospitality: Real conversations for innovative hoteliers · 2026-04-15 · 46 min
Hotels have always been in the business of trust: guests hand over their passports, their credit cards, their personal information and expect it to be safe. But this industry is a prime target for cybercrime. What are some of the most common threats to data security in hospitality and how can hoteliers protect against them? Matt talks to CISO/Security expert Fleur van Leusden and Terry Brown, Senior Director of Engineering at Mews. Fleur van Leusden works as a CISO in the public sector, with a background that includes one of the earliest internet investigation roles at the Dutch National Police. She also hosts her own podcast, CISO Praat, where she shares her industry expertise. Terry Brown brings decades of experience as a developer and engineer. Currently, he is a Senior Director of Engineering at Mews, where he builds and maintains the systems thousands of hotels rely on daily and sees the threat landscape from the inside.
