About the Episode

‍About The Episode:

In this Pulse Check episode, Brendan Henkel breaks down one of higher ed’s fastest-growing threats: application fraud. He explains why fraud has exploded since 2020, how AI-powered tactics like synthetic IDs and bots are overwhelming legacy systems, and why institutions need modern defenses to keep financial aid and seats going to real students—not bad actors.
