What You’ll Learn

  • Why a video interview can no longer reliably establish a candidate's identity or credentials
  • How nation-state IT worker schemes are turning the hiring process into a security concern
  • The difference between deepfake identity fraud and AI-assisted interview answer coaching
  • Why undisclosed dual employment can create security, productivity, and IP risk
  • How to build practical verification controls across the hiring funnel
  • What security and HR teams can do before the offer, during onboarding, and after hire

Who Should Attend:

  • CISOs and security leaders responsible for organizational risk
  • Talent acquisition and HR leaders hiring technical and remote workers
  • Fraud and risk teams investigating identity and employment fraud
  • IT and security teams responsible for identity, access, and endpoint risk
  • Hiring managers recruiting candidates for privileged or sensitive roles
  • Enterprise leaders responsible for protecting intellectual property and data

WHY IT MATTERS:

  • The interview is no longer a sufficient identity check.
  • Remote hiring has created new opportunities for identity and employment fraud.
  • AI makes sophisticated candidate deception easier to execute at scale.
  • A fraudulent hire can become an access, IP, compliance, and security problem.
  • Trust established at hiring needs to extend beyond the first day on the job.

Outcomes You Can Expect:

By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with:

  • A clearer understanding of the new hiring threat landscape
  • Practical ways to identify suspicious candidates before an offer is made
  • A framework for addressing identity, interview, onboarding, and post-hire risk
  • Actionable steps security and HR teams can apply to existing hiring processes
  • A better understanding of where human trust has become part of the attack surface

Meet the Speakers

Wesley Alvarez

AJ Nash

Cybersecurity Executive | Hiring & Insider Risk Expert


AJ Nash brings an experienced security perspective to the evolving risks created by remote hiring, AI-enabled deception, and identity fraud.


In this session, AJ examines how nation-state activity, deepfakes, AI-assisted interviews, and undisclosed employment are converging into a new category of organizational risk—and what security and talent leaders can do about it.


Rather than treating hiring as an HR-only process, the session looks at hiring through a security lens: Who are you bringing in? What can they access? And how do you know they're really who they say they are?
