/PRNewswire/ - Richie Akiva,
renowned hospitality entrepreneur and the King of New York City's nightlife, announced today the
appointment of Daniel Tobok, CEO of
CYPFER, as Chief Cyber Intelligence Advisor for Akiva's initiatives
at The Butter Group.
"In the high-profile world of hospitality, ensuring the privacy
and security of guests and operations is paramount," says
Daniel Tobok, CEO of CYPFER. "With
Richie Akiva's engagements,
activations and growing "The After" series; many threat actors take
aim at celebrities, influencers, ultra high net worth individuals,
and brands. We are taking proactive cybersecurity measures,
safeguarding their data and enhance their experience," declares
Tobok.
The hospitality industry is increasingly targeted by
cyber-attacks. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, global

trillion annually by 2025. The hospitality sector, with its
rich databases of personal and financial information, is a prime
target for cybercriminals.

where privacy and exclusivity are treasured," says Richie Akiva, the mastermind behind some of
New York City's most iconic
nightlife experiences such as The After for The Met Gala,
Michael Rubin's White Party or The
Grammy's. "Partnering with CYPFER allows us to provide an
environment through intentional cyber architecture that will guard
our guests online and offline experiences with peace of mind. It's
a commitment to excellence and security," shares Akiva.
"Entering the hospitality and luxury brand activation sector
with Richie Akiva is a significant
step for CYPFER," shares Tobok. "Richie's vision and influence in
