Jessica Barker

From a background in sociology and civic design, Dr Jessica Barker specialises in the human side of contemporary cyber security and the risks associated with cyber-crime.

FTSE100 companies, central government and businesses across the defence, health, financial and retail sectors trust her business advice in order to keep data safe, whilst remaining practically accessible.

Jessica and her business address cyber security’s greatest weakness: the human element, by blending behavioural economics together with an understanding of change behaviours.

Jessica’s mission is to involve people across the professional spectrum: there are messages for everyone from senior executives to ethical hackers and digital and creative workers. Typical client praise for her presentations includes: ‘thought-provoking’ ‘witty’ ‘fascinating’, ‘inspiring and ‘engaging’.

Furthermore, Jessica is passionate about encouraging young women and girls to gain a much greater awareness of the issues around cyber security. And as a renowned cyber security ambassador, she now regularly appears in the media to discuss current online and digital security issues.
