Interview Preparation Ace your cybersecurity interview with these resources and tips Technical Questions 10 common technical interview questions with answer guidance 1. What is the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption? Symmetric uses a single shared key (AES, DES) — fast but requires secure key exchange. Asymmetric uses a key pair (RSA, ECC) — slower but solves key distribution. TLS uses both: asymmetric for key exchange, symmetric for data transfer. 2. Explain the CIA triad. Confidentiality (preventing unauthorized access), Integrity (ensuring data isn’t tampered with), Availability (ensuring systems are accessible). These three pillars guide all security decisions. Give examples: encryption for confidentiality, hashing for integrity, redundancy for availability. 3. What is a MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) attack and how do you prevent it? An attacker intercepts communication between two parties. Prevention: use TLS/SSL, certificate pinning, HSTS headers, VPNs, and mutual authentication. Mention tools like ARP spoofing detection and 802.1X for network access control. 4. How does DNS work, and what are common DNS attacks? DNS resolves domain names to IP addresses through recursive/iterative queries.
