HBX Group bets on security in the travel industry by implementing the mTLS protocol

HBX Group, an independent B2B leader in the TravelTech sector, has set a new industry standard for security with the implementation of the Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) protocol. This two-factor authentication technology will provide an additional layer of protection to ensure the safe operations of its partners and customers using the HBX Group API, including travel agencies and tour operators, among others.

HBX Group is the first B2B company in the industry to adopt mTLS, underlining its commitment to innovation and security in an industry where cybersecurity is more important than ever.

This implementation is the result of the success of the pilot program carried out with a small group of partners and clients that not only confirmed the effectiveness of the protocol, but also its ease of integration and the positive impact on the operational confidence of all participants.

"At HBX Group, we believe that trust and security are fundamental pillars for the sustainable growth of the travel industry. With mTLS, we not only protect data and transactions, but we offer our partners and customers the peace of mind of operating in a robust and reliable environment," explains Paula Felstead, Chief Information Officer at HBX Group.

Building on this success, HBX Group is preparing to extend the reach of this technology to the rest of its community of partners and customers, who will be invited to adopt this new security standard, widely used by sectors recognized for their high security standards, such as finance, payments and banking.
