Beyond Passwords: Identity Security as Hospitality's Frontline Defense with Jasson Casey and Josh Johansen

Welcome back to Forcepoint's "To the Point Cybersecurity Podcast"! In this episode, Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepper kick off the new year by diving into a fresh and fascinating topic for the show: cybersecurity within the hospitality industry. Joining them are Jasson Casey, CEO and founder of Beyond Identity, and Josh Johansen, Director of IT for Brent Hospitality Group. The conversation unfolds like a real-world thriller, as Josh Johansen recounts a recent cyberattack targeting his organization—a phishing attempt that nearly fooled hotel staff with convincing fake invoices. The discussion expands into how passwordless technology stopped the attack, the ever-evolving world of AI-driven threats like voice cloning and document forgery, and how companies can keep up with sophisticated adversaries who increasingly use AI. Jasson Casey offers expert insight into the rapid advancements in impersonation techniques, sharing eye-opening examples from his own experimentation with voice cloning and underlining the need for robust attestation methods. Together, the group weighs in on privacy implications, the societal shifts brought by social media, and practical strategies for managing security in a complex hospitality ecosystem. If you're interested in the intersection of hospitality, AI, and cybersecurity—and what brands and individuals can do to protect themselves—this episode is one you can't miss.
