Catching cheaters is easy. The problem is that incentives are not aligned. Students are also customers, and you can’t simply fire a quarter of your customers and stay in business.
I agree with the latter 100% (the biggest problem is incentives), however I don't agree catching cheaters is easy. It's an arms race, and reminds me of catching cheaters in video games.
Using every means available (multiple technologies and in-person proctored exams) cuts down cheating to probably ~2%... But online programs have serious integrity challenges.
