Opening Address: In-Person ≠ Secure | Exam Security Summit 2026 | The In-Center Edition

Listen to a Global Interview Security Summit discussion with the Lead Product Manager at Talview, featuring Parul Bhatia and Ahmed Maredia.Explore how AI agents are reshaping recruitment, why trust and candidate identity verification matter, and how organizations can balance automation with human judgment. The conversation covers responsible AI adoption, agentic AI in hiring, interview fraud, candidate experience, and the risks of allowing AI to make hiring decisions without human oversight.Discover why the future of hiring goes beyond automating existing workflows, and how HR technology leaders can build more intelligent, accountable, and trustworthy hiring experiences.

Listen to the Global Interview Security Summit keynote on why interview security is becoming essential for modern HR technology platforms. As AI copilots, deepfakes, proxy interviews, and identity fraud challenge traditional hiring processes, discover why trust must be built into the platforms organizations already use.Explore how continuous identity verification, AI-powered monitoring, human review, and evidence-based records can help prevent hiring fraud and strengthen trust in AI-powered recruitment. Learn how HR tech providers can integrate interview security into their platforms and make trustworthy hiring a standard, not an afterthought.

In this episode, host Steve Kazin reframes the exam security debate by arguing that physical testing centers are not a "solved" safe alternative to remote testing, but rather a more mature threat surface. Experts Charles Scott and Michael Goodine note that while digitizing tests has drastically reduced item theft, physical centers remain highly vulnerable to low-tech risks like proxy test takers and flawed visual ID checks. They emphasize that while staff training and hardware scanning for smart glasses or watches have improved, the evolving nature of tech means security can no longer be taken for granted. Ultimately, the panel warns that proxy testing and smuggled AI devices remain the industry's most underestimated threats.Meet the panel:Michael Goodine (Independent Analyst)Charles Scott (Illinois Tech)Steve Kazin (Talview)

This closing addresses the summit's key themes, tracing how organizations are returning to physical centers only to face modern, evolving threat surfaces like AI hardware and AI-generated fake IDs. It correctly notes that proxy testing is a continuous threat that doesn't stop at the front door, meaning remote proctoring capabilities like AI monitoring must be brought inside the testing room. Ultimately, the summary enforces that protecting a credential's value requires a defensible chain of evidence, a commitment to never prioritize speed over security, and a balance of the right people, processes, and technology. 

In this episode, the conversation focuses on finding the right balance between tech-driven automation and crucial human oversight. Erica outlines how removing candidate friction, like rigid rules around unscheduled breaks, can actually strengthen exam integrity. Laurent breaks down the ongoing "cat-and-mouse" security game between traditional test centers and remote proctoring environments. Together, they highlight how emerging threats like offline AI and wearable gadgets are forcing a major shift toward behavioral anomaly detection.Meet the panel Erica Brown, CAE (ASIS International)Laurent De Laere (Televic assessmentQ)Ashwin Arun (Talview)

In this episode, we explore how sophisticated cheating rings use AI-enabled fake IDs and smart glasses to exploit traditional test centers, which have become unmonitored blind spots for high-stakes exams. We break down the critical vulnerabilities facing physical venues, from untrained invigilators to insider collusion and rapid content harvesting. Finally, we share actionable strategies to modernize exam security by combining physical center infrastructure with Talview's continuous biometric verification and AIOP cross-center intelligence to dismantle organized fraud networks.Meet the panelSanjoe Tom Jose (Talview)

In this episode, host Rajeev, Ada Woo, and Bridget Herd discuss why high-stakes exams like healthcare rely on physical testing centers to eliminate critical false positives. They emphasize that AI and modern technology should augment rather than replace human proctors by strengthening the continuous chain of evidence and ID verification. Deploying these standards globally requires navigating complex international data privacy laws, customs restrictions, and third-party operational compliance. Ultimately, the panel concludes that a modernized testing infrastructure must balance candidate friction with security, and never optimize for speed over security. Meet the panelAda Woo (Ascend Learning)Bridget Herd (Pearson VUE)Rajeev Menon (AI DOME)

In this session, you will explore why hiring integrity in the highly regulated BFSI sector carries massive legal, operational, and systemic consequences. The panel examines the real-world dilemmas leaders face on the ground, from managing high-volume screening for specialized tech roles to making tough calls on senior executives under pressure. Discover why viewing a resume as an underwritten risk and empowering recruiters as your first line of defense are critical to managing risk in mass recruitment. The discussion highlights the delicate balance between urgency and security, showcasing how proctoring technology and flexible check criteria can protect an organization's compliance. Tune in to learn how industry frontrunners are navigating these complex trade-offs to build a real-time playbook for zero-tolerance hiring integrity.Panel details:Samaksh GShabeer Ahemed Sathar (KVB Bank)Ritu Arora (Canara HSBC Life Insurance)Sunu Philip (Talview)

In this keynote, you will explore how candidate fraud has shifted from an artisanal craft into an automated assembly-line threat powered by AI and deepfakes. The session examines how remote hiring has turned recruitment into a dangerous security threat surface, especially within the tech-savvy Indian market. Discover how bad actors leverage AI teleprompters and synthetic faces to manipulate interviews and exploit global organizational infrastructure. Finally, learn about a vital five-step integrity baseline and Talview’s unified dashboard designed to move companies from siloed detection to end-to-end risk management. Tune in to find out how you can close these critical gaps and secure your hiring funnel from application to onboarding. Panel details:Sanjoe Tom Jose (Talview)

In this session, you will explore why local hiring decisions at Global Capability Centres (GCCs) carry massive global security risks for enterprises. As remote recruitment faces a surge in sophisticated threats like deepfakes, proxy candidates, and live AI cheating, a single fraudulent hire can expose a company's core global infrastructure from day one. The panel examines the true cost of this threat, from devastating timelines and contaminated data to severe reputational damage. They also discuss why overcorrecting with tedious manual checks slows down hiring and drives away top talent. Finally, discover how to fight AI with AI using real-time proctoring agents to secure your pipeline without sacrificing speed. Panel details:Diwakar A (Dassault Systèmes)Ahmad Maredia (Workday)Jayas Damodaran (Talview)
