Some of these questions where on my exams recently in Cyber Security Batchleors Degree. And in one of our modules, one group assignment was to take part in teams with the game Backdoors & Breaches working as an incident report team to identify and mitigate vulnerabilites.

I've been asked this a couple times in interviews and didn't know how to answer it. What steps would you take to harden security at your company? I said the end user is the number one weakness in any company, so I would do regular security trainings via knowb4, they even have an excellent video series called the inside man that goes through a number of different threats but makes it entertaining with a Netflix like show story. Also enable multi factor authentication for passwords, physical security like locks and badges or key cards, cameras. Using vpns when working from home. Blocking unused ports. I just came up with those last two. Amazing what I think up when I'm not on the spot nervous in an interview. Anything else I could add?

@Josh Madakor Can you please give me several questions I can ask a VP of Sales for a Cyber Security & Cloud Computing position? Everyone else post videos on what a manager would ask an interviewee. Cheers
