Global Interview Security Summit 2026

Defending Trust in IT Hiring in the Age of AI

IT Hiring Is Now the
Frontline of AI Fraud

The engineer who aced your technical interview may not be the engineer who shows up on day one. Proxy developers. Real-time AI coaching. Deepfake video panels. State-backed IT worker schemes. What was once a fringe concern is now a documented, scalable attack on enterprise hiring pipelines — and IT roles are the highest-value target.

The FBI has issued formal warnings. Experian named deepfake job candidates a top-2 fraud threat for 2026. And 62% of hiring professionals now believe candidates are better at faking identities than HR teams are at detecting them. The Global Interview Security Summit 2026 is the industry's response.

  • Proxy Engineers in Your Pipeline

    Offshore stand-ins and AI-coached candidates clearing technical rounds on behalf of unqualified hires — invisible to standard screening.

  • Enterprise Security at Risk

    A fraudulent IT hire granted access to codebases, infrastructure, and customer data is not a talent problem. It is a security incident.

  • $500M+ State-backed Hiring Fraud

    Over 100,000 fake IT workers are operating inside real organizations across 40+ countries.

  • $33,000+ Per Fraudulent Hire

    Direct costs from onboarding, access provisioning, and remediation — before accounting for reputational damage or security breach costs.

What You'll Walk Away With

The Global Interview Security Virtual Summit 2026 IT Industry Edition, brings together CHROs, CIOs, cybersecurity leaders, and IT staffing firms for two hours of unfiltered practitioner panels, real case studies, and actionable frameworks you can implement the same week.

You'll gain practical insights to:

  • Recognize the specific fraud patterns targeting IT hiring pipelines in 2026
  • Understand your legal exposure under emerging negligent hiring doctrine
  • Build a fraud-resistant technical interview process — without slowing hiring
  • Adopt the IT Hiring Integrity Baseline — 5 minimum standards every IT team should have in place today

This is not a trend conference. It is the IT industry drawing a line — and deciding what trusted hiring looks like from here.
