The Insider Threat You Just Hired: Candidate Fraud as a Security Problem
Candidate fraud isn’t just fake applications and misleading resumes. It shows up in the interview itself, where impersonation, deepfakes, and AI-assisted answers are harder to catch. That makes it a security problem as much as a talent one.
A fraudulent hire isn’t just a bad hiring decision; it’s an insider threat with real credentials and real system access.. And it’s already widespread: 41% of IT and security leaders say their company has already hired a fraudulent candidate.
