A Security is a fungible, negotiable instrument representing the financial value. Securities are generally sorted out into debt securities such as banknotes, bonds and debentures and equity securities. For example: common stocks and derivative contracts such as forwards, futures, options and swaps.

Now, in this editorial column, I am focusing to provide you all the inputs necessary for the interview of a prominent post of Security. Kindly, try to pay attention to this sample.

1. Have you ever heard about the term Identity Theft?
Yes sir, identity theft actually starts with offline information theft than with online theft but the trend is increasingly online. It works for hiding our financial identity. The first step is collection of enough of personal data to be able to take the second step which will probably be to apply for new credit cards in the name and plunder them before us to find out.

2. What is vulnerability?
It is a security exposure in an operating system or other system software or application software component.

3. What do you mean by a Policy and Security?
Well, a Policy would be some form of documentation that is created to enforce specific rules or regulations and keep a structure on procedures. Security is simply a policy based around procedures revolving around security.

4. What do you mean by Access Control List (ACL)?
This is a mechanism that implements access control for a system resource by listing the identities of the system entities that are permitted to access the resource.

5. What is a Spyware?
Spyware is parasitic software that is secretly or obscurely installed on your computer when you install free toolbars, “helpers” other nifty things; by visiting sneaky websites, or when you click deceptive email attachments. In the best case, spyware creates pop-up ads. In the worst case it steals your passwords or even your personal identity.

6. What is a Trojan-horse (Trojan)?
Sir, it is parasitic software used to infiltrate targeted computers so the Trojan-master can access them remotely. Often designed for a specific purpose such as relaying spam but some Trojans give the master total control of the computer. Trojans seldom do damage as a virus would because the master wants his control to remain hidden.

7. Please define the meaning of an Authorization in your words?
Sir, an Authorization is the approval, permission or empowerment for someone or something to do something.

8. What is the meaning of Script Kiddies?
These are juveniles who simply download other people’s hacking tools and malware and see what damage they can do.

Now, you can face the interview of a Security.
