Cybersecurity Awareness Month Session Titled “Payments Fraud and Your Vendor Master: Uncovering Hidden Risks”

Waltham, MA – October 21, 2020 – PaymentWorks, providers of The PaymentWorks Business Identity Platform, today announced that in support of Cybersecurity Awareness Month it will host a webinar to discuss payments fraud risks and best practices for addressing the issue.
