The hiring process has become a new frontline for identity fraud. From deepfake candidates and stolen identities to contractor “bait-and-switch” schemes, attackers are exploiting weaknesses in recruiting and onboarding workflows to gain legitimate access to corporate systems.
As hiring and onboarding move online, traditional background checks alone are no longer enough. Organizations must establish trust in a candidate’s identity before granting credentials and system access.
Join experts from Ping Identity and Mitek as we explore how modern identity threats are reshaping workforce security, and how organizations can protect the entire hiring journey from application through onboarding.
In this session, we’ll discuss:
-
How deepfakes, synthetic identities, and impersonation bypass hiring controls
-
The risk of contractor substitution and “bait-and-switch” hiring fraud
-
How sophisticated fraud networks—and in some cases nation-state actors—exploit remote hiring
-
Why identity verification and IAM must work together to establish trusted employee identities
-
Practical strategies to secure the journey from applicant to employee
