In recent years, it’s become clear that cybersecurity is an issue many companies continue to struggle with. Unfortunately, that extends to the world of loyalty programs. In the last two years alone, both Marriott and IHG Rewards Club have been subject to data breaches that affected millions of consumers.

Even Panera Bread experienced a data breach in 2018 that impacted 37 million customers.
