- The real truth is that external consultants usually come back with the same conclusion that staff do.
- Senior executives like to use consultants in order to avoid the blame for anything that doesn't go well.
- A big reason to bring in a consultant and pay them is to legitimize what management already wants to do.

- Physical - The physical layer is responsible for the physical cable or wireless connection between network nodes. It defines the connector, the electrical cable or wireless technology connecting the devices, and is responsible for transmission of the raw data, which is simply a series of 0s and 1s, while taking care of bit rate control.
- Data Link - The data link layer provides node-to-node data transfer—a link between two directly connected nodes. It handles error detection and correction from the physical layer.
- Network - The network layer provides the functional and procedural means of transferring packets from one node to another connected in different networks.
- Transport - The transport layer provides the functional and procedural means of transferring variable-length data sequences from a source to a destination host, while maintaining the quality of service functions.
- Session - The session layer controls the dialogues (connections) between computers. It establishes, manages and terminates the connections between the local and remote application.
- Presentation - The presentation layer establishes context between application-layer entities, in which the application-layer entities may use different syntax and semantics.
- Application - The application layer is the OSI layer closest to the end user, which means both the OSI application layer and the user interact directly with the software application.

The MITRE ATT&CK (Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge) Framework is a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. It provides a common language for describing attacker behaviors and helps organizations improve their security posture.
Key components:
- Tactics: The tactical goals of an adversary (the "why" of an attack technique)
- Techniques: The specific methods used by adversaries to achieve their tactical goals
- Procedures: The specific implementations of techniques used by adversaries
The framework is organized into matrices for different environments:
- Enterprise (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Mobile (iOS, Android)
- ICS (Industrial Control Systems)
MITRE ATT&CK Framework Website
Zero Trust is a security concept that operates on the principle "never trust, always verify." It assumes that threats exist both inside and outside traditional network boundaries and requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources, regardless of their location.
Key principles:
- Verify explicitly: Always authenticate and authorize based on all available data points
- Use least privilege access: Limit user access with Just-In-Time and Just-Enough-Access
- Assume breach: Minimize blast radius and segment access, verify end-to-end encryption, and use analytics to improve defenses
Implementation involves:
- Strong identity authentication
- Device health verification
- Microsegmentation
- Continuous monitoring and validation
- Policy-based access controls

Put yourself in the shoes of the interviewer and give them what they want, and what they are looking for from the successful candidate, you will pass your interview. The interviewer wants 3 things:
- Someone who is positive and enthusiastic: smile, speak up. Don't be monotone or negative.
- Someone who is self-sufficient. Someone who can work in a team structure. Someone who can make decisions.
- Someone who can plan, organize, and prioritize their work. Employers don't want to spend their time constantly babysitting.
Have an example of making a difficult decision on your own. Have examples for all of these. They want someone who will go above and beyond what is expected. Are you willing to do tasks outside of your comfort zone to stay late if needed? You are always flexible and go above and beyond.
- Instead of saying I'm a good team worker say: In this role, I will always collaborate with my co-workers to ensure we quickly meet the team's objectives. (Collaborate is far more powerful than teamwork).
- Instead of saying I am hardworking say this instead: In my work, I am always diligent, conscientious, and I will never miss a deadline.
- Instead of saying I am professional say this instead: Whilst carrying out my duties I will always be competent and proficient.
- Instead of saying I am a good problem solver, say this instead: I am always solution-oriented whilst dealing with challenges and problems.
- Instead of saying I have high standards, say this instead: I am a detail-oriented person who can be relied upon to adhere to all company policies and procedures.
You should hire me for several reasons. I am a very positive person who enjoys the challenge of working on difficult tasks and projects. Over the years, I have built up numerous transferrable skills and qualities that I believe are a solid match for this job description. I have experience working alone and collaborating as part of a team. I am a solid communicator who will take good care of your customers and clients, and I will always go above and beyond what is expected in this role.
You should hire me because I appreciate you have worked hard to build your/this business and being someone who is adaptable to change, I can be relied upon to support your long-term commercial goals.
You should also hire me because I am a fast learner. This means you won't have to spend your valuable time closely monitoring or supervising me.
Finally, you should hire me because I will always take care of my ongoing professional development. This means the skills and knowledge I possess will always be purposeful and relevant to the position.
