This shocking episode of ByteWise uncovers the emerging threat of deepfakes being used in remote job interviews. Daniela, Glen, and Brian discuss how AI-generated fake identities are deceiving hiring managers, potentially granting malicious actors access to sensitive company data and infrastructure.
They explore the technical aspects, motivations behind this fraud, and the limitations of traditional hiring practices and background checks. The conversation highlights the need for heightened awareness, updated verification techniques (both technical and soft skills-based), and robust ongoing monitoring to combat this evolving security risk in the remote work era.
Listen now to understand this critical new threat and how to protect your organization!
