Key takeaways
- Implement multi-layered detection strategies to combat deepfakes.
- Utilize device fingerprints for verifying user identity.
- Continuous monitoring of behavioral telemetry is essential.
Implementation checklist
- Set up liveness detection protocols during candidate assessments.
- Integrate device fingerprinting to track user devices and behaviors.
- Regularly analyze behavioral telemetry to identify anomalies.
Questions we hear from teams
- What is liveness detection, and why is it important?
- Liveness detection ensures that the person taking the assessment is physically present and not using a spoofed video or image. It is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the hiring process.
- How can device fingerprinting help in detecting fraud?
- Device fingerprinting collects unique data about a candidate’s device, allowing you to identify inconsistencies that may indicate proxy usage or deepfake attempts.
- What should I do if I suspect a candidate is using a proxy?
- Immediately flag the candidate for further review. Utilize your monitoring tools to gather evidence and involve your compliance team as necessary.
