Stop Fraudulent Job Applications

Remote hiring has made the job application process a new entry point for attackers using fabricated identities and technical evasion.

Remote Hiring Created New Attack Vectors

Well-funded hackers, many from North Korea, submit hundreds of resumes and pose as candidates to infiltrate your intellectual property.

They use fake identities, deepfake interviews over Zoom, VPNs, and virtual machines to bypass traditional screening.

One successful attack exposes code and customer data. At the very least it wastes your recruiter time and budget in the process.
