Secure guest WiFi, protect payment systems for PCI compliance, safeguard property management platforms, and manage multi-property networks with DNS filtering across 90 million domains.
Hotels operate complex network environments serving guests, staff, and operational systems on shared infrastructure. DNS filtering provides segmented security without costly network overhauls.
Hotels providing internet access face legal liability for how guests use their networks. DNS filtering prevents access to illegal content categories, protecting the property from legal exposure while maintaining a seamless guest experience.
Every hotel processing credit cards must meet PCI DSS standards. DNS filtering helps satisfy network segmentation and access control requirements by isolating payment system DNS resolution from guest network traffic.
Hotel chains manage hundreds or thousands of properties with varying local IT capabilities. Centralized DNS filtering provides consistent security policies across the entire portfolio without requiring on-site security infrastructure.
Hotel and hospitality-specific content risks that DNS filtering addresses across all property types
Hundreds of unknown guest devices connect daily to hotel WiFi. These devices may carry unsafe content that attempts lateral movement. DNS filtering prevents compromised guest devices from reaching malicious restricted servers or spreading within the network.
Hotel POS systems at restaurants, spas, and gift shops are prime targets for payment data theft. DNS filtering ensures POS devices can only resolve approved payment processor domains, preventing data leakage through compromised terminals.
PMS platforms contain guest personal data, payment records, and room access credentials. unsafe content access targeting front desk staff attempt to steal PMS login credentials through fake system update or vendor notification emails.
Hotel loyalty accounts with accumulated points are targeted by credential stuffing attacks. DNS filtering blocks access to domains associated with credential testing tools and stolen account marketplaces.
Hotels hosting conferences provide dedicated event WiFi to hundreds of attendees. DNS filtering enables temporary, event-specific policies that protect attendees and the hosting organization from network-based content risks.
Smart thermostats, digital signage, keyless locks, and minibar sensors create a vast IoT attack surface. DNS filtering restricts IoT devices to approved communication endpoints, preventing restricted network recruitment and unauthorized access.
Features designed for the unique network architecture of hotels and hospitality properties
Apply different DNS policies per network segment: guest WiFi, staff operations, POS systems, and IoT devices. Each segment receives appropriate filtering without the cost of physical network separation.
DNS filtering satisfies multiple PCI DSS requirements including network access control, unsafe content prevention, and system monitoring. Reduce PCI compliance scope by demonstrating DNS-level isolation of payment infrastructure.
Manage DNS policies across your entire hotel portfolio from a single console. Push standardized security policies to all properties while allowing property-specific customizations for local regulations and guest demographics.
Block inappropriate, illegal, and harmful content categories on guest networks. Configurable content policies ensure legal compliance and protect the property from liability associated with guest internet use.
Create temporary DNS policies for conferences, weddings, and corporate events. Sponsor branding on captive portals while maintaining DNS-level security tailored to each event's specific requirements.
Gain insights into guest internet usage patterns without compromising privacy. Aggregate DNS analytics reveal popular services, peak usage times, and content risk trends across your property portfolio.
How hotels and hospitality organizations deploy DNS filtering across their operations
A hotel group with 500 properties across 40 countries deployed centralized DNS filtering. Each property received baseline security policies with local customizations for regional content regulations, achieving consistent protection without per-property IT staff.
A boutique hotel collection struggling with PCI DSS requirements implemented DNS filtering to isolate payment system DNS traffic. This DNS-level segmentation satisfied auditor requirements and reduced their PCI compliance scope by 40%.
A major convention center serving 50,000+ attendees weekly deployed DNS filtering on event WiFi. Each event received custom DNS policies matching the organizer's security requirements, while the venue maintained legal compliance across all events.
A luxury resort with 2,000 IoT devices deployed DNS filtering to restrict each device category to approved endpoints. Smart room controls, digital signage, and surveillance systems were isolated at the DNS layer, preventing restricted network infections.
A family-oriented resort chain implemented strict content filtering on all guest WiFi to ensure child safety. DNS filtering blocked 22 content categories identified as inappropriate, creating a family-friendly internet environment across all properties.
A hotel management company created separate DNS profiles for staff training rooms. Trainees accessed only approved hospitality systems and learning platforms while being protected from restricted content simulations that tested security awareness.
Protect guest WiFi, achieve PCI compliance, and manage multi-property security with enterprise DNS filtering built for hospitality.
