Nation-state actors have industrialized a new attack vector: the fake hire. Using stolen identities, fabricated resumes, and AI-generated interview personas, threat actors are applying for and landing legitimate jobs inside your organization, then using that access to steal data, plant malware, or fund sanctioned weapons programs.
Most identity and access tools were never built to catch this. They're designed to flag suspicious behavior after someone becomes an employee, not to verify who's actually behind a candidate before they're hired. By the time a background check turns up something wrong, or a first login trips an alert, the attacker already has a badge, a laptop, and legitimate access.
Organizations need a way to catch fraudulent identity at the moment it matters most: when it enters the hiring pipeline.

- Security tool designed to prevent fraudulent candidates from entering your organization.
