24,758 security engineer interview questions shared by candidates

The CISO type interviewer will ask for security frameworks, guidelines and policies. For example, prepare to explain the NIST thoroughly. Short description like saying it's a cybersecurity framework won't satisfy. You will be asked to elaborate your answers. As if you are giving a presentation or lessons. My suggestion is the position is geared towards an experience Cybersecurity person. Even an experience in IT help desk and Networking is not enough. I wish I have prepared properly.
