The event “Your Extended Workforce is Under Attack: 3 Ways to Stop Identity Threats from Hiring to Helpdesk – Part 2 (Technical Deep Dive)” examines the escalating risks of identity-based attacks within organizations’ extended workforces. As hybrid work models and third-party partnerships expand, the need for robust identity security has never been greater. This session delivers a practitioner-focused exploration of advanced strategies and controls to safeguard against evolving threats.
Understanding Modern Identity Threats
Organizations today face sophisticated attacks such as AI-powered impersonation, deepfakes, and hiring fraud. Attackers exploit weaknesses in traditional identity verification, targeting onboarding, access, and helpdesk workflows. The event emphasizes that one-time identity checks are no longer sufficient, as adversaries adapt quickly to bypass static defenses.
Continuous, contextual identity verification is presented as a critical solution. By verifying identities throughout the user lifecycle, organizations can reduce fraud, prevent account takeovers, and minimize the risk of social engineering attacks. This approach also helps eliminate unnecessary friction for legitimate users, improving both security and user experience.
Technical Deep Dive: Architectures and Controls
The session moves beyond strategy, offering a detailed walkthrough of architectures, integrations, and controls necessary for operationalizing Verified Trust. Attendees gain practical insights into implementing continuous authentication and identity verification across onboarding, access management, and helpdesk support.
By adopting these advanced security measures, enterprises can reduce operational burdens on HR, IT, and security teams. The event demonstrates how to streamline onboarding, decrease fraud losses, and strengthen overall workforce security without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Who Should Attend
This virtual webinar is tailored for security, IT, IAM, HR, and helpdesk professionals in medium to large enterprises. It is particularly relevant for organizations managing hybrid workforces, contractors, and third-party partners. The session is also valuable for senior directors, managers, and practitioners seeking to enhance their understanding of identity-driven threats and solutions.
Attendees will benefit from actionable guidance on reducing time and costs for IT and security teams, while ensuring robust protection against identity-based attacks. The event is organized by Ping Identity and is available as a recorded session for later viewing.
