Overview
As organizations increasingly rely on digital invoicing, online payments, and payment links, billing teams have become a critical part of protecting revenue, customer trust, and financial operations. Cybercriminals frequently target invoicing processes through payment redirection scams, invoice manipulation, business email compromise, and fraudulent payment requests. Without proper controls, even routine billing activities can create significant financial and security risks.
This course provides billing professionals with a practical understanding of secure invoicing and payment link management. Participants will learn how to design secure billing workflows, protect customer payment information, identify payment fraud risks, and implement controls that support safe payment collection processes. The course also explores PCI DSS awareness, vendor verification procedures, incident response practices, and collaboration between billing, finance, IT, and security teams.
By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to manage invoicing processes securely, reduce payment fraud risks, and support trusted payment experiences for customers and business partners.
