As organizations face increasingly sophisticated social engineering and insider threats, the very foundation of trust—the employee identity—is under attack. Abnormal’s Identity Security team is building a groundbreaking product to detect and prevent fraudulent employee identities, specifically targeting high-stakes threats like infiltrators seeking to funnel funds through deceptive employment. We use advanced behavioral intelligence to scrutinize candidate details—from resumes and application metadata like IP addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers—to identify suspicious patterns and prevent malicious actors from entering the workforce. We are extending Abnormal’s leadership in AI-native security to protect the integrity of the modern enterprise at the point of hire.
