Perception of the importance of IT security in the Spanish hotel industry

Ante un mundo empresarial cada vez más dependiente de las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (TIC), es conveniente que la seguridad informática tenga un hueco importante en estas empresas para el buen funcionamiento de las mismas. Por este motivo, este artículo analiza esta área pero en el sector hotelero, un sector que hoy día no se puede concebir sin el uso de las TIC. Este estudio analiza la percepción (por parte de las empresas) de la seguridad informática en el sector hotelero español a través de encuesta en 2 periodos, con un horizonte temporal de 10 años, y utilizando como marco comparativo el sector empresarial español en general. Obteniendo como resultados, la mayor concienciación por esta seguridad informática en el sector hotelero a lo largo del tiempo, ya que, en el primer periodo temporal, la diferencia entre este sector y las empresas españolas en general era bastante amplia.In a business world increasingly dependent on Information Technology and Communications (ICT), it is desirable that IT security has an important place in these companies for their operation. For this reason, this paper analyzes this area but in the hotel sector, a sector that today can not be conceived without the use of ICT. This study analyzes the perception (by the companies) of IT security in the Spanish hotel industry through surveys in 2 periods (with a time horizon of 10 years) and using as comparative framework the Spanish business sector in general. Obtaining as a result, the increased awareness for this IT security in the hotel industry across the time, as the difference between this sector and the Spanish business sector in general was quite spacious in the first time period

Integration of IT-Security Aspects into Information Demand Analysis and Patterns

Information logistics in general addresses demand-oriented information supply in organizations. IT-security has not received much attention in information logistics research. However, integration of security aspects into information logistics methods could be useful for application contexts with strong security requirements. As a contribution to this aspect, the paper investigates the possibility to extend information demand patterns (IDP) and information demand analysis (IDA) with security elements. The contributions of this paper are (1) to motivate the integration of security aspects into IDP based on the analysis of three IDPs, (2) the integration of security requirements elicitation from business processes (SREBP) and information demand analysis, and (3) and enhanced representation of IDP including security aspects
