General stuff you should know. OWASP SANS25 Dug a bit deeper on encryption and certificates than you'd typically use day-to-day. Code review. Behavioral was by far the oddest, lots of tell me a specific case where you failed or X bad thing happened and how you handled that. IDK about you but in my work we typically get ahead of issues to prevent them from happening.
