The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the travel industry, causing numerous challenges. However, despite these challenges, cybersecurity job postings in airlines, travel services, and lodging have increased dramatically over the past year. Job postings in airlines rose by 82%, while travel services and lodging saw increases of 58% and 56%, respectively.
This growth in cybersecurity job postings is likely due to the increased awareness of cyber threats within the industry, as well as an increased need for remote work and online services. Companies in the travel and tourism industry are likely looking to protect their sensitive data and customer information from cyber attacks.
Additionally, with the rise of digital services and a shift towards online transactions, cyber threats have become more prevalent, making it increasingly important for companies to invest in cybersecurity professionals.
The growth in job postings is likely to continue over the coming years as the travel industry recovers from the pandemic and continues developing new technologies and digital services that require strong cybersecurity measures to protect both the company and its customers.
