Event Details
The identity threat landscape has shifted dramatically in the last twelve months. Deepfake candidates, AI-driven impersonation, synthetic identities and help desk social engineering have moved from theoretical risk to operational reality, and the gaps they are exploiting run across HR, IT and security in ways that no single team owns or fully sees.
Join an intimate group of senior security, IT and HR leaders for an exclusive virtual roundtable to share how organisations are rethinking identity verification from the hiring process through to account recovery, and what it takes to close the gaps without creating friction that slows the business down. This is a candid, off-the-record conversation among peers, no presentations, no sales pitches, just an honest exchange of what is working and what is not.

Agenda
What's The Agenda?
This exclusive virtual roundtable brings together senior security, IT and HR leaders navigating the growing convergence of hiring fraud, AI-driven impersonation and account recovery attacks across the employee lifecycle. In a focused and confidential setting, you will connect with peers to share strategies, challenges and perspectives on rethinking workforce identity from candidate screening through to help desk recovery.
We will explore how organisations are validating identity at each stage of the employee lifecycle, adapting to a threat landscape that has changed faster than most programmes were built to handle, and balancing security with user experience and operational efficiency.
Key discussion topics will include:
AI on both sides of the interview
A recent study found 38.5% of candidates were flagged for AI-cheating behavior across nearly 20,000 live interviews, and deepfake fraud attempts in hiring are up over 1,000% year over year. How are you rethinking the interview itself: live liveness checks, in-person final rounds, day-one identity re-verification?
Applicant fraud (the front door)
Deepfake interviews, synthetic candidates, and North Korean IT worker schemes have moved from headline to operational risk in the last 12 months. What is your organization actually doing today to validate that the person you are interviewing and hiring is who they claim to be? Where in the hiring workflow (recruiter screen, interview, offer, day one) does that verification happen?
Backup / time permitting (passwordless tie-in from Identiverse)
Passwordless is dominating the conversation this year. As you move toward passwordless for the workforce, how are you thinking about the enrollment and recovery moments, which are still password-and-help-desk dependent for most companies?
Help desk and account recovery (the exploited seam)
Help desk social engineering has become one of the most exploited attack vectors (MGM, Clorox, Scattered Spider). How are you rethinking password reset and account recovery workflows, and where does facial authentication or document verification fit versus knowledge-based questions and manager callbacks?
Ownership and buying process (who is the real buyer?)
Workforce identity touches HR, IT, security, and the help desk, and each owns a slice. In your organization, who owns the decision for identity verification across the employee lifecycle, and what does the buying and evaluation process actually look like?
This roundtable is a chance to connect with like-minded leaders, compare notes on what is working, and leave with practical perspectives to bring back to your team, all from the convenience of a focused 90-minute virtual session.
