"Jenny is one of my favorite people. We had a chance to meet at a conference recently where we were both speakers. There are a few social engineering / human hacking experts and Jenny is clearly one of the best. We got along great. I think. Maybe that was all part of the plan. Guess we will never know." - Bryan, Ethical Hacker
"Jenny presented at One Identity's global user and partner conference earlier this year in Budapest. From the moment she stepped on stage, Jenny had the audience in the palm of her hand. Her subject, "The Human Factor", is always one to make people think and the way it was delivered took them on a journey of just what goes on in the industry. The delivery was fast-paced and fun but delivered a serious message. A very professional and slick presenter that I would recommend to anyone looking to book something a little different. Thank you Jenny!" - Patrick, Sales Engineering Senior Director, One Identity
"If you want to know about social engineering, people-hacking and security there are lots of people that talk about that stuff. If you want to know about social engineering, human-hacking and security and have the subject come alive for you then Jenny Radcliffe is the person you need to talk to. Scary smart, deep knowledge, engaging, witty and Scouse-funny. Highly recommended." -
