I was asked a good chunk of mixed resume based, scenario based, and behavior based questions. 1. Do you have any experience with Ansible or xyz tool? 2. Tell me about your experience with vuln management. 3. Tell me about how would you patch a critical vuln. General approach especially when having to work together across different teams such as Dev Ops or Software Engineers. How do you handle potential downtime and communicate effectively? How do you assess the risks involved when dealing with other severity levels of vulns such as high, medium, and low? 4. Trick question regarding what general resource is useful for password management and compliance.
