Organizational Security Challenges and Strategy Questions

Evaluate and articulate the security risks, maturity, and strategic priorities an organization faces, and explain how the security function and this role would address them. Topics include threat landscape assessment, security program maturity, incident response and penetration testing roles, executive alignment and resourcing, trade offs between usability and security, compliance and regulatory implications, risk prioritization, and practical mitigation approaches tailored to the organization size and business model. Interviewers look for evidence of company-specific research, an understanding of how security integrates with product and engineering teams, and actionable recommendations for near term and longer term improvements.
