The Workplace Identity Crisis
AI can fake anyone. Even the person you just hired.
AI agents are submitting job applications. Synthetic identities are passing interviews. Faceswapped IDs put a different person at the keyboard. Deepfaked voices call your help desk with stolen data. These fakes are already in your workflows, and a résumé check won't catch them.
The Fakes Are Already in Your Workflows
AI has made convincing fakes cheap and fast to produce. They show up across hiring, onboarding, and the help desk.
Applications Written by Machines
AI agents apply to roles at scale and generate convincing résumés on demand. Your pipeline fills with candidates who were never real people.
Learn more →Operatives Behind Synthetic Identities
Foreign operatives and fraudsters build synthetic identities that pass remote interviews, along with the background checks that only confirm the stolen credentials.
Learn more →Deepfaked Voices at the Help Desk
Scammers call in with stolen identity data and a cloned voice, impersonate an employee, and talk your agents into a password reset.

Polyguard verifies identity where it matters most — with no new tools for your team to learn and no extra steps in your hiring or IT workflows.
Secure Remote Interviews
Verify every candidate's real identity before and during interviews. Polyguard stops deepfake and proxy candidates by confirming the person on camera matches their verified identity — across every interaction, not just once.
Learn more →Help Desk Security
Replace knowledge-based verification with proven identity confirmation. Before any password reset or account change, the employee verifies their identity on Polyguard Mobile — your help desk agent sees confirmed identity, not guesswork.
Learn more →Build With Polyguard
Embed Trust Checks into any application with a few lines of code. Account creation, transactions, access control — your users verify their identity without ever leaving your workflow. You never handle biometric data.
Learn more →Fused Identity. One Verification.
Multiple identity factors — fused simultaneously on one device into a single tamper-proof verification.
Person
Real-time facial recognition with 3D depth analysis confirms the person on camera.
Document
Government-issued ID verified through NFC cryptographic chip reading — not OCR.
Device
Hardware-backed attestation via Apple AppAttest and Google Play Integrity confirms a genuine device.
Location
Physical presence verified through PG-Presence optical distance bounding and geolocation.
PG-Presence
The only technology that closes the remote desktop, screen sharing, and KVM attack surface. Patented optical distance bounding verifies physical proximity in under ~100ms — a unique approach to closing this attack surface.

Types of Fraud in Remote Hiring
Remote hiring fraud is evolving from simple resume misrepresentation into coordinated, high-risk threats that can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and even sanctions exposure. This blog breaks down the key types of hiring fraud, from proxy candidates to state-sponsored schemes, and explains the tactics attackers use to bypass traditional hiring and identity checks.

The AI Era Demands a New Identity Vendor
Securing modern hiring workflows now requires a new kind of identity vendor. Legacy identity verification and access platforms were built to check documents or manage employees after hire, not to stop AI-driven impersonation in hiring. This post explains why those systems cannot close the gap and what capabilities a modern identity vendor must provide.

The Binding Problem in Remote Hiring
Most hiring pipelines rely on separate systems like an ATS, background check vendor, interview platform, and HR system. Each step verifies its own piece for compliance, but none confirms that the same person remains present throughout, leaving a compliant audit trail tied to an unconfirmed subject and a structural gap remote hiring fraud now exploits.
