How would you respond if an engineer reduced a vulnerability's severity just to increase
the SLA?


Give this one a try later!


Explain the idea for classifying vulnerability severity in the first place,
underline that a degradation only to extend Service Level Agreement (SLA) is
not appropriate, and formulate a plan to more precisely identify

, vulnerabilities in the future so that the degradation issue does not arise as
frequently.




What do you know about ISO 17799?


Give this one a try later!


ISO/IEC 17799 was originally published in the United Kingdom. It defines
some of the best practices for information security management.
Furthermore, it has guidelines for all of the companies, whether big or small,
for information security.




In what ways can digital certificates be compromised?


Give this one a try later!


One way digital certificates can be compromised is if the private key is stolen.
If the private key is stolen, then an attacker can use it to sign malicious code
and impersonate the owner of the certificate. Another way digital certificates
can be compromised is if the certificate authority's database is hacked. If the
database is hacked, then an attacker can issue themselves a valid certificate.




What is your understanding of the Pareto principle as applied to IT Security?


Give this one a try later!

, The Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, states that 80% of the
effects come from 20% of the causes. In the context of IT security, this means
that 80% of the security risks come from 20% of the vulnerabilities. Therefore,
it is important to focus on identifying and addressing the most common and
severe vulnerabilities in order to have the biggest impact on overall security.




3. What steps do you take to ensure timely patching of critical vulnerabilities?


Give this one a try later!


3. Timely patching of critical vulnerabilities is ensured through a structured
patch management process, including testing patches in a controlled
environment before deployment to production systems.




Describe a honeypot.


Give this one a try later!


A honeypot is a network-connected system used as a trap for cyber-attackers
to discover and study the methods and types of attacks employed by hackers.
It simulates a prospective target on the internet and alerts the defenders to
any unwanted access to the information system.




Can you share an experience where effective vulnerability management prevented a
security incident?
