[Eril-l] Cyber security and invoices

As phishing and other cyber problems become more sophisticated, I was
wondering if anyone uses a process to verify that invoices are coming from
your publishers and vendors.
I just received an email notice from one vendor today about cyber security
after I submitted 2 invoices for payment. I double checked the emails and
all of the usual triggers (email address for invoice, vendor name, invoice
number, and vendor address, ACH payment information) against our previous
years' invoices.
Short of having a vendor send me print invoices, I don't know how to know
that I am receiving the correct invoice and sending it to the correct
vendor.
If other institutions have a process of verification, I'd be interested in
knowing what that might be.

Best,

Judith
