Yes, my HOD asked me to conduct an interview session tomorrow for Security Analyst posts available here. Well as usual I’ve prepared a series of questions to ask the candidates. And no, I wont reveal the questions here. It is not that I dun want to be called “poyo” again but I think this time the questions will be really really really easy and very basic. No tcpdump output stuff, no incident identification from packet dumps, no snort alerts interpretation stuff, and no more on what-do-you-think-about-IDS-IPS-stuff either. What’s the point of asking those questions when I know 90% of the candidates will possible failed to answer those questions.

How bout asking on IDS deployment in a network? Maybe not as I think maybe nobody can or will answer that. Maybe I shud ask about basic network diagram? I used to ask the candidate to draw a simple diagram of a network that has basic security devices either inline or passive but then still nobody answer it. I didn’t expect anybody to answer perfectly. Nobody is perfect and nobody is NOBODY. (Wifey used to reply “I am Nobody” when I say “nobody is perfect).

So for tomorrow, I just looking for anybody that has the right attitude, the passion and the level of knowledge that they had for the post. (When you have the right attitude, have the passion, I do believe that you have the basic knowledge and skills as the result of DIYs, googling and try-and-error methods. Agree?)

So for the candidates who will attend the interview session tomorrow, I wish them good luck and please…

Do some simple google search anything about ICT Security, and of cause about Security Analyst.

Good luck.
