As high-stakes certification and licensure programs continue to expand online delivery, traditional proctoring and lockdown controls are increasingly challenged by sophisticated proxy testing, remote access tools, virtual machines, and AI-assisted cheating methods. Many existing solutions rely on what a test taker chooses to show through a webcam or screen share, leaving critical security gaps at the device level. While lockdown browsers attempt to address some of these issues, they are limited in what they can protect. This presentation introduces WatchR™, a next-generation Proxy Detection and Machine Lockdown system developed by Certification Management Services (CMS). WatchR addresses modern testing threats by verifying what the candidate’s machine is actually doing—rather than what appears on screen—through deep, real-time machine-level monitoring. The system detects remote desktop activity (including RDP, VNC, TeamViewer, AnyDesk, and Chrome Remote Desktop), virtual machines, VPN routing, automated and headless browsers, AI chatbot usage, screen recording tools, and abnormal hardware or timing signatures commonly associated with proxy testing and assisted response behavior. Attendees will gain an understanding of how WatchR provides real-time, actionable intelligence, including automated alerts and objective violation reporting, while integrating seamlessly into existing test delivery and proctoring workflows. The session will highlight how machine-level intelligence strengthens exam validity, improves defensibility, and reduces reliance on subjective post-exam review—without adding complexity for legitimate candidates. This session is designed for test developers, psychometricians, certification leaders, and exam security professionals seeking a modern, proactive security layer to protect the credibility of high-stakes online assessments.
