The interview was for an AppSec role. They asked about my experience in application security, including tools I’ve used like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and any secure code review experience. Some questions were based on OWASP Top 10, how I identify and report vulnerabilities, and how I handle false positives. They also gave real-time scenarios to explain how I would approach security issues in web and mobile apps.
