Gap Finders - Jenny Radcliffe

As part of Scam Safe Week we're talking to Jenny Radcliffe. a people hacker and an expert in manipulating humans. She uses these skills to reveal gaps in security systems.

From an early age Jenny Radcliffe was fascinated by locked door, high fences, and the secrets being kept behind them, so much so she became a social engineer.

Born in Liverpool, Jenny became a burglar for hire and a professional con-artist, who changed sides and became an ethical people hacker working with businesses and organisations to find weaknesses in security systems. She has spent a lifetime learning how to use the 鈥渉uman element鈥 to gain access to the buildings, data and information, and the things we would wish to keep private.

Jenny created Human Factor Security, a company set up to highlight these gaps in security systems. She's been employed to breach zoos, offices and funeral parlours, theme parks, banks, football stadiums and more, as well as being booked around the world to deliver talks and training on human manipulation.
