Small Business Employees, 'Frenemies' Threaten Cybersecurity

Cyberattacks may be viewed as a distant threat involving professional criminals targeting major, multinational corporations. The latest report from PricewaterhouseCoopers, however, warns that small businesses are a major target. What's more, an SMB's own employees and 'frenemy' partners are often to blame. This week's B2B Data Digest examines the stats of PwC's analysis, which finds the impact of fraud and cybercrime on small firms is probably larger than one may think.

The Limits Of Tech On Late B2B Payments

Late B2B payments may very well be a universal problem — and for SMBs, an unpaid invoice could be the deciding factor between staying in business or closing up shop. Some analysts say eInvoicing and ePayments can help accelerate invoice payments; others say FinTech and alternative lending options like factoring are the answer. But Richard Garnier, managing director of Credable — a new trade credit insurance brand offered by Euler Hermes — says technology and even regulation can only go so far to protect a small business against late and non-payment risks. He tells PYMNTS why it may take a generation to address this issue.
