Advanced Security for Human Resources Operations

Protecting Employee Data and Processes from AI-Driven Social Engineering

Human Resources departments are custodians of highly sensitive employee information and manage critical organizational processes, making them a key target for sophisticated cyberattacks. The proliferation of AI-generated threats, including deepfake voice and video, introduces significant new risks to data security, payroll integrity, and corporate compliance. Our solutions provide a comprehensive framework to defend against these advanced social engineering attacks, ensuring the protection of employee data and the security of core HR functions.

The hiring process is increasingly vulnerable to manipulation by threat actors who leverage AI-generated documents, deepfake interviews, or synthetic references to infiltrate organizations. These tactics can result in the onboarding of individuals with malicious intent, posing significant threats to data security, internal processes, and organizational trust.

Why Traditional IDV Fails Against Deepfakes

Conventional identity verification (IDV) techniques, such as document validation and standard video interviews, are not equipped to reliably detect synthetic media or manipulated credentials. Deepfakes and AI-generated content can closely mimic authentic documents, appearances, or speech patterns, often bypassing visual and auditory checks with convincing precision. As a result, organizations that rely solely on traditional IDV processes may inadvertently approve fraudulent candidates, exposing themselves to insider threats and compliance risks.

Solution: Robust Candidate Validation and Fraud Prevention

Our platform integrates advanced verification tools that authenticate candidate identities across all stages of the hiring cycle. By analyzing voice, video, and documentation for signs of manipulation or synthetic generation, the solution ensures only legitimate candidates progress through recruitment. Automated cross-channel analysis uncovers discrepancies or deepfake activity, enabling HR teams to make informed, confident hiring decisions and protect the integrity of the workforce.

• Benefit:

  Detect and prevent fraudulent applications or interviews powered by AI-generated content.

• Benefit:

  Maintain a secure, trustworthy hiring environment and reduce the risk of internal threats.

HR departments manage a vast repository of personally identifiable information (PII), from social security numbers and bank details to performance reviews. This data is a primary objective for threat actors who use advanced social engineering tactics, such as vishing and spear-phishing, to trick HR personnel into granting unauthorized access or disclosing confidential information.

Solution: Real-Time, Cross-Channel Threat Detection

Our platform offers integrated, real-time analysis of communications across voice, video, and email. By correlating activity across these channels, the system identifies and neutralizes sophisticated impersonation attempts before they succeed. This provides a critical layer of defense, ensuring that sensitive employee PII remains secure and protected from AI-driven attacks that bypass traditional security controls.

• Benefit:

  Enhance security protocols to protect employee PII against emerging, AI-generated threats.

• Benefit:

  Reduce the risk of data breaches and ensure compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and CCPA.

A common attack vector involves threat actors impersonating employees to request changes to payroll direct deposit information or to initiate fraudulent benefits claims. AI-generated voice deepfakes make these requests highly convincing, creating a significant risk of financial loss and creating complex issues for both the company and its employees.

Solution: Verifiable and Secure Communication Channels

By providing proactive detection of deepfake and impersonation tactics, our solution helps validate the authenticity of employee requests. The system flags suspicious communications for review, allowing HR staff to verify high-risk changes through secure, authenticated channels. This process prevents unauthorized modifications to payroll and benefits systems, directly mitigating financial and operational risks.

• Benefit:

  Prevent payroll and benefits fraud by identifying and blocking impersonation attempts.

• Benefit:

  Strengthen the integrity of critical HR workflows and reduce administrative burden from correcting fraudulent transactions.
