Cybersecurity for Travel Advisors, Protecting Your Business & Your Clients with Jesse Castro | EP 153

Most travel advisors don’t think about cybersecurity… until something goes wrong. By then, it’s too late.

In this episode, I’m joined by cybersecurity expert Jesse to talk about the very real (and often overlooked) risks facing travel advisors today. Because the truth is, you are not a small target. You are a high-value one.

You hold client payment details, passport information, travel plans, and access to multiple systems. Hackers aren’t just looking for individuals, they’re looking for volume.

Inside this conversation, we break down the simple, practical steps you can take to protect your business, your clients, and your reputation. This isn’t about fear, it’s about responsibility and about building a business that your clients can trust.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • Why public wifi is one of the biggest risks for travel advisors

  • What a VPN actually does and why it’s essential

  • The truth about saved passwords and browser security

  • Why password reuse is more dangerous than you think

  • How hackers target travelers in airports and hotels

  • The hidden risks of USB charging stations

  • Why travel advisors are high-value targets for cyberattacks

  • How urgency and busy seasons make you more vulnerable

  • The most common email and social media scams

  • Simple steps you can take today to protect your business

The more overwhelmed and distracted you are, the more vulnerable you become.
Cybersecurity isn’t about being tech-savvy, it’s about being intentional.
