Sir are these questions the ask Soc analyst during interviews ? These are extremely cheap questions, I was expecting something difficult, am about applying for a Soc role and am so scared that I might not be ready, but seeing these video! 😂 am a little confident now
these are questions that are commonly asked during soc interviews. not sure what you mean by cheap.

Subscribed!
I appreciate you!
Caught a small mistake in subs, actually port 53 is DNS not D&S as N in acronym stands for "Name" in Domain Name System.
Yes, my auto sub app is not the best 😅 thanks for sharing!
Reespect
I had an interview once and to one question i answered I'll just google it. The interviewer was not impressed. But hey I'm probably better off not working for someone like that anyway
Yea, it could just be a not so cool interviewer, it's also the way you say it. I wouldn't say "I'll Google it" I would say what I said in this video. I don't know the answer right now, but I'll figure it out and send you a follow up email after this interview.
God bless you... And God bless me tomorrow, lol

No organization would want their server isolated just because one user failed to sign in from an anomalous country. If you suggest this, you might not get the role. The key word here is “failed.” Let’s check why the sign-in failed. Was it due to a wrong password or an MFA failure? If it was an MFA failure, let’s reset the user’s credentials since the password is known. Also, check the device used-was it managed or not, and has it been seen before?
Please do not say you would isolate a server due to a failed sign-in. Instead, say you would pivot off the IP and check for any other users who might have signed in from this known bad actor IP. There are other checks that can be carried out, but this is the basic gist of things.
correct, although some customers I have worked with have requested an isolation on their server before.
cybersecurity is so nuanced. but overall i agree with you.
when you said you would email it to them , lol you couldve just googled the answer and emailed them so how is that helpful in getting the job when you say youll email them . i wish i could get a job like that smh
Hey, thank you for your question.
When a candidate says they will email you with an answer, it shows a few things: if they don't have the answer on the job they have the independance and competence to find the answer, it shows good communication skills voth verbally sharing the lack of in the moment knowledge and through that email, it shows when the candidate says they are going to do something that they will do it.
If you only do this for 1 question, answered everything brilliantly, and let your personality shine, you have just as much of a chance as anyone else
Where is the answer pdf as you said in beginning of video 😅
