Fraud in the Remote Workforce: Hiring, Security, and Compliance Best Practice

This session examines how remote worker fraud has evolved into a serious cybersecurity threat, transforming HR processes into potential security incidents. Attendees will learn to identify fraud tactics, spot red flags, contain risks through privacy-forward investigations, and understand regulatory and contractual exposure points that can be triggered by identity-based breaches.

A brief intermission allowing participants to refresh before the second session. Use this time to review notes and prepare questions for the upcoming discussion on compliant hiring controls.

This session provides practical guidance on building fraud-resistant hiring workflows while maintaining compliance with employment and anti-discrimination laws. Participants will explore risk-based control design principles, monitoring policies with privacy guardrails, access governance throughout the employee lifecycle, and strategies for continuous improvement in remote work security.
