Från Øredev 2022: Fredrik snackar med Monika Orski - lösningsarkitekturkonsult, författare, och tidigare ordförande i Mensa Sverige - om konsten att valla katter. Det vill säga konsten att leda och uppmuntra kreativa och smarta människor i organisationer, både i arbete och ideella sammanhang. Människor som vill stimuleras och utvecklas behöver få göra det, och man måste också få in nya förmågor när katterna flyttar på sig. Därefter blir det lite diskussion om öppen källkod. Medvetenheten ökar över lag, men stora organisationer sätter sig lätt i beroendeställningar mot stora företag. Men det finns mer att prata om, vi som utvecklare kanske kan diskutera ur exempelvis perspektivet kontroll. Vem kontrollerar koden vi och våra organisationer är beroende av?

Jenny has detailed her career in her book ‘People Hacker: Confessions of a Burglar for Hire', and joined Roman Travers from the UK to chat about it.

Just how safe is the online world? Yale Professor of Law and Philosophy Scott Shapiro delves into cybersecurity in his book, Fancy Bear Goes Phishing. The book's title derives from the exploits of ‘Fancy Bear', an elite unit of the Russian military intelligence that hacked the US Democratic National Committee in 2016. From a bored graduate student who accidentally crashed the nascent internet, to cyber criminals and bot farms, Shapiro looks at the dark history of the information age. Dr Alice Hutchings first began researching cybercrime in the late 1990s, while working in industry, and is now Director of the Cambridge Cybercrime Centre. She argues that the romanticised image of the underground hacker as an anti-authoritarian ‘lone wolf' who possesses technological wizardry is outdated. Hacking has become industrialised with criminals able to buy ‘off-the-shelf' tools to infect computers. While hackers constantly look to exploit vulnerabilities within the technology, one of the major weak points are users themselves. Jenny Radcliffe's job is to expose the flaws and weaknesses in security operations. In People Hacker she explains how she uses a blend of psychology, stagecraft and charm to gain access to computer systems, and reveals how people can boost their security and make her job more difficult.

Welcome to the warmup exercise for the Why Am I podcast called “the Fantasy Restaurant.” In here my guests get to pick their favorite: drink, appetizer, main, sides, and dessert. There are no wrong answers! Jenny's meal basically breaks down to bread, but not just bread…there's also bread. I've never had anyone set the atmosphere quite like Jenny does…afternoon drinks with the dolphins LOL. I hope you enjoy this meal with Jenny. This is a great background primer on Jenny, and ultimately the video that compelled me to contact her(worth a watch!): https://youtu.be/R3ycxy7DE98 Please show them some love on their socials here: https://humanfactorsecurity.co.uk/, https://humanfactorsecurity.co.uk/podcast-2/, https://twitter.com/Jenny_Radcliffe.

Hey everybody, I'm Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today. My guest this go around is Jenny Radcliff. I don't know if I have the time to properly introduce her, but here's some of the highlights: she's a self proclaimed Scouser, an amazing story teller, an award winning podcast host, oh and by the way she's paid by folks to burglarize them. This is often referred to as a social engineer, but in essence she's paid to travel all over the world to lie, cheat, and steal her way into places to assess their physical security. She's a serious badass, but she's also empathetic and kind. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jenny.

Jenny Radcliffe is a social engineer and security expert. She focuses on the human elements that are so often exploited by those seeking to gain unauthorized access online and in the real world. Branded a ‘people hacker', as well as bypassing the strictest security she can diffuse a crisis and spot a lie in seconds. Like ethical hackers in the digital world, Jenny exposes security flaws for the greater good – to highlight weaknesses, raise awareness, and enable fixes. She considers natural human instincts, and those enabled by organizational culture. She looks at the science of behavior and questions our assumptions and the people we trust. She examines how to put security at the forefront without making systems and processes overly complex.

Enigmas. Things that cannot be understood; things that must be unravelled and unriddled. Things that are not what they seem. This series is, in many ways, about enigmas, but here we're talking about a literal one: the Enigma machine. This is the story of the codebreakers of Bletchley Park, including Alan Turing, who broke the German cypher and helped to end the war. But it is also the story of what we can and cannot know, and how little secrets beget bigger ones... Contributors to this episode: Michael Smith, Sir Demot Turing, Colin Matthews, George Jennings, and Jenny Radcliffe. This is the second episode of The Town That Knew Too Much, written, produced and presented by Nick Hilton. The music is by George Jennings, based on The Planets by Gustav Holst.

Post By: Adam Turteltaub Liverpool-based Jenny Radcliffe, who leads Human Factor Security, is not your typical hacker, clad in a black hoodie and working out of basement. Rather than spending her time hunched over a keyboard, she seeks to hack people. What does that mean? As she explains in this podcast, she uses persuasion, psychology and influence methods to make her way into systems, and even into physical premises. She is often hired to break alarms and see if she can talk her way into a building. She does it by capitalizing on the all-too-human aspects of our personalities, and from her experiences she has learned how phishing emails and other techniques also capitalize on human weaknesses to enable hackers to breach computer systems. What's both terrifying and fascinating, is how hackers take advantage of our weaknesses, tailoring their attacks, knowing that different scams work for different people and cultures. In fact, she explains that the organization culture you have, is the hack you invite. In a hierarchical organization the hacker will likely use authority principles. In a younger, less rules-driven culture attackers may use registration for a social activity as a way to steal passwords and IDs. Hackers also take advantage of human emotions and stress. As she memorably says, “Emotion kicks logic off the cliff.” That's why techniques such as promising a prize or threatening the release of embarrassing information can be so successful in getting people to click where they shouldn't. She advises companies create “cognitive firewalls” within their organization, helping employees to watch for red flags such as: Any approach via email, call or social media that makes the recipient emotional The mentioning of money The request to act, especially if asked to act quickly How else can you protect your organization? By making it safe for people to come forward when they make a digital mistake. The more comfortable they are coming forward, the faster they will and the sooner the breach is remediated. And how do you find the internal bad actor? That, she says, falls on the shoulders of line managers, who need to be on the lookout for changes of behavior that may indicate stress. Listen in to learn more, including the risks that can come as employees return to the workplace.
A widely reported 2019 survey found that 99% of the attacks are focused on exploiting human vulnerabilities by targeting people instead of computer systems and infrastructure. Some of the most significant data breaches were carried out after stealing login credentials from human actors. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-radcliffe-the-people-hacker-%F0%9F%8E%A4%F0%9F%8E%A7%F0%9F%A7%A0-85ba1611/ (Jenny Radcliffe), also known as “The People Hacker,” a world-renowned Social Engineer, provides some fascinating insights and stories regarding the human factor in cybersecurity. She discusses the various challenges of dealing with human vulnerabilities, provides specific recommendations on how to reduce such risks, gain top management buy-in, and more. Memorable Jenny Radcliffe Quotes/Statements "Properly use the security that you already have in place. A lock doesn't work unless we turn the key." "People really need to know what they need to do when they see something suspicious." "The real vulnerability is in our humanity; the fact that we are human. We are vulnerable to cognitive biases, and errors, and they can be weaponized by someone with malicious intent."

Gar is joined this week by Jenny Radcliffe, aka the People Hacker, founder and director of Human Factor Security. Jenny is a world-renowned Social Engineer, hired to bypass security systems through a mixture of psychology, con-artistry, cunning and guile. Jenny talks us through her experiences of physical penetration testing, her background and how that fed into her success, and how to use emotions to socially engineer people.

When we think of a “hacker” we have an image of someone behind a computer wearing a black hoodie. But today's guest, Jenny Radcliffe, is here to expand the definition of a hacker to include human hacking or social engineering. According to Jenny, every human can be hacked. In fact, 95% of cyber-attacks are human-based or exploit some kind of human error or manipulation. And Jenny would know since she has been doing social engineering and physical infiltration for her whole life. As a human hacker or social engineer, Jenny shares her knowledge and expertise on how to avoid people manipulation through human hacking, including: How to know if you or your Principal is being manipulated? What are the four red flags you need to be aware of? How to identify a genuine human factor expert from someone who is just faking it? What skill sets should you look out for? What are the social cues to spot when you may be a victim of phishing or any form of manipulation? And what countermeasures should you implement? What is the human hacker's best disguise to avoid detection when penetration testing? You'll be surprised to hear her answer to this! Today Principals have different profiles - they may be a Bitcoin billionaire or a social media influencer. They're putting so much out there. It's like putting a sign on your front door saying, “I'm on holiday now. Please break in!” And it makes your job so much more difficult. You need to harness new skills to keep people protected. Tune in as Jenny shares lots of top-notch knowledge and wisdom to help you protect yourself and your Principals because as she puts it… “If you build a wall, someone's already thinking about a ladder.” As always, drop us a comment or leave us a review to let us know your thoughts.
