In hospitality, every second counts. A smooth operation means happy customers, and happy customers mean more revenue. But cloud technology isn’t just about making things easier—it also needs to be secure. One of our clients, a leading hospitality tech provider, learned this the hard way.

The Challenge: Security Risks and Downtime

Our client built an all-in-one platform for hospitality businesses. Their software handled everything—point-of-sale (POS) systems, inventory, online orders, and staff scheduling. It was a game-changer for restaurants, helping them run smoother and faster.

But as the platform grew, so did the security risks:

• Weak firewall settings left them exposed.
• Frequent DDoS attacks caused crashes.
• Unstable infrastructure led to performance issues.

For a restaurant, downtime means lost orders, frustrated customers, and lower profits. They needed a solution—fast.

The Fix: Strengthening Cloud Security

We stepped in to secure their platform without slowing it down. Here’s what we did:

• Fixed firewall settings – Reconfigured AWS WAF to block harmful traffic while letting in real customers.
• Deployed AWS Shield – Added extra protection against DDoS attacks to keep the platform online.
• Improved stability – Tweaked the infrastructure to ensure smooth performance, even during peak hours.

The result? A 70% drop in DDoS risks and a more stable, secure system.

The Impact: A Stronger, Faster Platform

With security under control, our client could focus on what really mattered—helping restaurants cut costs, save time, and grow their business. Their improved platform now powers:

• Faster and more reliable online ordering.
• Real-time data insights for smarter decisions.
• Built-in marketing tools to attract more customers.

With cloud technologies in place, they not only protected their business but also built trust with major restaurant brands.

The Big Picture: Why Cloud Security Matters in Hospitality

This story is proof that cloud technology isn’t just about convenience—it’s about survival. In hospitality, security and stability go hand in hand. The right cloud technologies solutions can protect revenue, improve customer experience, and set businesses up for long-term success.
