After studying these Q&A's I was able to pass my first Security Engineer I role interview I accepted the offer and start next week. I have 5 years experience doing Service Desk and Desktop Support and also have my bachelors in Cybersecurity. 150 candidates applied this video helped me be confident and say the right things. Thank you so much!!!

These answers are fantastic for those looking to perform in a SOC/NOC environment. What about a more risk management/security control perspective?

[jeebugorn]

SSl ( secure socket layer)has been found to have a vulnerability and is replaced with TLS Transport Layer security)now

[outlaw]

Hey! As you have mentioned in a technical question about securing a server using SSL, should it not be TLS? As most companies are moving from the now slightly insecure SSL. Thank you for this video!

Im a CISSP (relatively new) and have over 20 years experience as a Infrastructure sysadmin. I am interviewing soon for a role in Cyber Security and while cyber security has always played a part in my life in IT its never been my sole focus. I want to be able to communicate during the interview my years and experience plus my new cert and also my dedication to the position. This helps a lot

[brucekaninda]

I am satisfied with the content of this video

[tobiasrekker]

This is an excellent episode.
Can you make an episode for an ISO (Information Security Officer) role and for a CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) role?.

[puransingh-sxtk]

What will be the best answer Q. What is the most challenging thing you will find about this new position?
Q. What do you understand by customer complaint?

[goomba]

Incredible video, straight to the point with rock-star delivery. My only question is, do you have something similar for people with no IT background? I'm finishing up my BA in cybersecurity but I have no formal experience in the field, only 5 years of customer service and 1 year of trade work (HVAC). Your videos are much appreciated, thank you !

[reggieangus]

I was expecting more of a technical interview. This is like interviewing for an entry level position with a non technical interviewer.
Im going off on a limb but I think this is more of a generic splat against the wall and hope something sticks type video. If you're mid level or higher, you're going to need to explain a lot of things in detail and I think if you keep saying Im a team player, my greatest weakness is my that I take projects too serious and dedicate my whole time to it diligently. I think youd get laughed out the room tbh. If I was doing the interview, I would never hire you with those answers, just being honest.

[VakmanCA]

I appreciate your work a great deal. But please note that your “technical questions” are not quite there. Look at the CISSP certification questions for more realistic interview questions.
