Device fingerprinting analyzes a range of technical signals from each applicant's browser and device to create a unique SHA-256 identifier with high accuracy. Cside can detect telltale signs of virtual machines, VPN usage, and headless browsers that indicate fraudulent applications. This technology goes far beyond what fake applicants can easily manipulate, providing reliable detection of sophisticated fraud attempts.
How much does fraudulent hiring typically cost companies?
The cost of hiring a fraudulent actor extends far beyond wasted salary expenses and in some cases has even bankrupted the victims.
Why are tech companies and government contractors particularly at risk?
Tech companies and government contractors are prime targets because they handle valuable intellectual property, source code, infrastructure credentials and sensitive data that foreign adversaries want to access.
Will cside fingerprinting add latency or block the UI?
No. The fingerprinting script exposes fingerprinting functions on window without affecting rendering, and collection runs asynchronously in the background.
How quickly can cside detect and flag suspicious job applications?
The moment someone visits your careers page, cside starts working in real-time, analyzing device fingerprints and flagging instantly high-risk patterns to your applicant tracking system.
