Your Extended Workforce Is Under Attack: 3 Ways to Stop Identity Threats from Hiring to Helpdesk - Part 1

Organized attackers aren’t breaking in, they’re becoming part of your extended workforce.

AI-powered impersonation, deepfakes, hiring fraud, and MFA fatigue attacks now target corporate employees, frontline workers, contractors, and partners—across onboarding, access, and helpdesk workflows. As organizations expand across hybrid work and third-party ecosystems, identity has become the most exploited, and least consistently verified, attack surface.

The problem? Most organizations still rely on implicit trust, assuming identities are legitimate after a single check, while attackers continuously impersonate, infiltrate, and escalate.

According to IDC, over 80% of breaches are identity-driven, and organizations that adopt continuous, contextual identity verification achieve up to 43% reduction in fraud loss and 47% faster onboarding.

In this webinar, you’ll get a strategic, non-technical look at why the extended workforce has become a primary attack surface, how implicit trust is failing across hiring, onboarding, access, and helpdesk flows, and what a Verified Trust program looks like for corporate employees, frontline workers, contractors, and partners. This session is ideal for security, fraud, HR, and IT leaders who need to align on the problem, the business impact, and the investment case.

You’ll learn how to:

- Identify where attackers exploit gaps across employees, contractors, partners, machines, and AI agents
- Stop hiring fraud, account takeover, and helpdesk social engineering before damage occurs
- Apply explicit and continuous identity verification at critical moments, without adding friction
- Strengthen security and reduce operational burden across your entire identity ecosystem

Join us to see how Verified Trust helps you protect your extended workforce, while keeping your business moving—and get a preview of Part 2, where we’ll dive into the technical architectures, integrations, and controls that put this strategy into practice.
