Gap Finders - Jenny Radcliffe

You and Yours

Available for over a year

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 “human element” 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. Presenter: Shari Vahl Producer: Dave James
