🗓 Date: March 17
⏰ Time: 12 PM – 1 PM ET
📍 Live Webinar, Including Q&A With Expert Panel (Recording Available to Registrants)
Hosted by Nisos, with an award winning panel including guest speakers, Nicole Perlroth and Evan Wolff
A deep-dive, expert-led webinar on one of the most urgent workforce security challenges today: employment fraud used as a vector for insider risk, espionage, and financial exploitation.
Why You Should Attend
Employment fraud isn’t just a hiring nuisance, it’s quickly becoming an enterprise-wide risk that intersects talent acquisition, corporate security, insider threat, and identity risk management.
- Fraudulent job applicants are rising globally, driven by remote work, generative AI, and organized adversaries. Gartner predicts that by 2028 1 in 4 job applicants could be fake, enabled by AI-generated profiles, images, and identities. [HR Dive]
- Insider risk incidents are increasing sharply: 48% of organizations reported a rise in insider threats in 2024, and average costs for an insider incident in North America topped $22 M. [Syteca]
- Many hiring processes don’t yet detect deep-fake identities, AI-assisted interviews, or synthetic profiles, leaving gaps attackers can exploit.
As talent acquisition becomes increasingly digital and AI-enabled, adversaries are exploiting hiring systems to gain access well before traditional security controls ever engage. This webinar equips you with practical, actionable insights to close those gaps.
What You’ll Learn
Our panel of leading intelligence analysts and a special guest will unpack:
- A real DPRK-linked campaign using fraudulent employment applications to infiltrate U.S. organizations, including methodologies, objectives, and evolution of their tactics.
- How AI is not just assisting resumes, but enabling deep fakes, identity manipulation, and AI-guided interviews.
- Red flags to watch for during resume screening, interviews, and onboarding.
- How employment fraud can precede malicious insider activity once access is granted.
- How to integrate these insights into hiring, risk, and insider threat programs quickly and effectively.
