1. Network Intrusion Monitoring: How would you set up a network intrusion detect

1. Network Intrusion Monitoring:
How would you set up a network intrusion detection system (NIDS) to monitor a critical infrastructure environment? What indicators of compromise would you look for?
2. Host Intrusion Detection:
Explain how you would configure a host intrusion detection system (HIDS) to detect unauthorized changes or access to critical systems. How would you minimize false positives?
3. Honeypots:
Describe your experience using honeypots to detect and analyze attacks. What strategies have you employed to make honeypots effective, and what insights have you gained from them?
4. Vulnerability Scanning:
How would you approach routine vulnerability scanning in an environment with numerous critical devices? Explain how you would schedule and manage scans to minimize impact on operations.
5. Security Orchestration:
Explain how you would implement a security orchestration platform to automate response to different types of alerts. How would you ensure that the system is adaptable to changing threat landscapes?
6. Alert Response:
Describe a scenario where you had to respond to a critical security alert. What steps did you take, and how did you communicate with stakeholders?
7. Threat Prioritization:
Explain your process for prioritizing security incidents and alerts. What factors do you consider, and how do you ensure that the most critical issues are addressed promptly?
8. Client Communication:
How would you communicate a complex security incident to a non-technical client in a critical infrastructure environment? What strategies would you use to ensure clear understanding and collaboration?
9. Threat Intelligence Analysis:
Describe how you would analyze threat intelligence feeds and integrate them into a cybersecurity strategy. How do you verify the reliability of different sources?
10. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving:
Share an example of a complex problem you’ve solved in a cybersecurity context. What was your analytical process, and how did you arrive at the solution?
11. Innovation and Leadership:
How have you demonstrated innovation in your previous roles? Share an example of how you’ve guided or led others in implementing a new idea or improvement.
12. Scenario-Based Leadership Question:
Assume you are leading a team that must respond to a critical security breach affecting multiple clients in critical infrastructure environments. Detail your response plan, including immediate actions, client communication, investigation, remediation, and long-term strategies to prevent recurrence.
