Exclusive White Paper

Who did I hire?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released warnings
about people using deepfakes and synthetic identities to obtain work. These warnings highlighted potential consequences resulting from the hiring of fraudulent workers.

New hires gain access to corporate and proprietary information, and misuse of this information can expose an organization to multiple risks that can result in financial and reputational harm. Through the continued advancements of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies, hiring fraud has been elevated beyond only the use of a stolen social security card or a stolen identity. Deepfakes, synthetic identities, shallowfakes, and identity obfuscating are being used to obtain more advanced employment positions not just for their greater levels of increased wages but for potential access to proprietary information that can lead to various forms of fraud.

Exclusive white paper. Who did I hire?

Cover of white paper.

The primary goal of KYE is protection. New hires, both valid and fraudulent, gain access to some level of proprietary and confidential information. By knowing your employees before they are hired, an organization can better protect itself, its employees, customers, and reputation.

Globally, cybersecurity spending has been forecasted to reach $174.7 billion by 2024. In this age of remote and work-from-home positions, companies are committing more resources to fraud prevention and improved employee background checks is one part of this process.

In June 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) published a Public Service Announcement warning that deepfakes and stolen personally identifiable information (PII) are being used to apply for remote and work-at-home positions. The previous year, the FBI also published a Private Industry Notification warning of malicious actors using synthetic content as part of foreign influence campaigns. The same notification also warns of “the use of content generation and manipulation tools to develop synthetic corporate personas or to create a sophisticated emulation of an existing employee.”

The Incorporation of Identity Proofing

KYE is an attempt to improve the hiring process by going beyond standard verifications of name, address, and date of birth using an ID. KYE is the incorporation of identity proofing to prove the person being hired is who they say they are. Identity proofing goes beyond traditional ID verification and background checks by reversing the assumption that when a person provides an ID, that ID is for that person.

Through the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), part of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, an adherence framework for identity proofing was developed for organizations.

Identity Proofing Defined

Traditional identity verification assumes that when a person provides an ID, that ID is real and correct. IDs such as a driver’s license, social security card, or birth certificate can be verified and deemed authentic, providing verification of the identity on the document.

But this does not prove the person who presents the document is the person on the document. Identity proofing goes beyond traditional ID verification to prove who a person actually is. Without proving an identity, the identity of the employee is only as good as the ID being used.
