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. These organizations often have remote-first hiring practices and positions that make them attractive to state-sponsored actors. A single bad hire in these sectors can lead to massive breaches like a compromise of national security information or critical infrastructure. Making thorough applicant verification essential for protecting critical assets.
