Cyber Security Interview Questions You Must Know (Part 1)
Interviews for Top Jobs at Tenable
Software Engineering Internship Interview
I interviewed at Tenable
Interview
2 interviews. First was a quick phone screening, 2nd was a deeper Zoom interview with a behavioral part and a code test. The code test was not that difficult. Standard data structures and algorithms.
- The questions were focused on my resume and portfolio.
Technical Support Engineer II Interview
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tenable (Wilmington, NC) in Aug 2022
Interview
Applied online. Got an invite a month later. Had a Zoom meeting with the recruiter who clearly had not read my resume until the call started. The recruiter seemed unprepared and was doing the math from my resume while on the call to add up my years of experience, then writing it down. She then tried to sell me on the company and very clearly has a hard time doing it. A big emphasis on their clients and no emphasis on why that would benefit me at all. I then mentioned that I didn’t have Linux experience which she hadn’t noticed because, again, she clearly hadn’t read my resume yet. I said that working weekends is a non starter for me since I have two small kids. We both agreed this isn’t a good fit because I am not willing to dedicate my life to this company.
- How many years of experience do you have?
Security Researcher Interview
I interviewed at Tenable
Interview
First the HR connects to ask some general questions about your current role. Later they will schedule the 1st interview. There are multiple technical rounds and manager rounds. And each round happens after clearing the previous round
- General questions about past experience
There are a few different security tools that can be used along with Nessus, depending on your specific needs. If you are looking for a tool to help with vulnerability management, then you might want to consider using OpenVAS. If you need a tool to help with intrusion detection, then you might want to consider using Snort. And if you need a tool to help with forensics, then you might want to consider using Autopsy.
Credentialed scans are scans of a system or network that are performed using valid login credentials, while uncredentialed scans do not require any credentials. In general, credentialed scans are more accurate than uncredentialed scans, since the scanner has more information about the system it is scanning. However, credentialed scans can also be more intrusive, since they are essentially performing actions on the system as a logged-in user. As such, you would want to use a credentialed scan in situations where accuracy is more important than intrusion, such as when auditing a system for compliance purposes.
Tenable Network Security provides support at various levels, depending on the needs of the customer. For customers who need help getting started with Nessus, there is a free community support forum.

Nessus is a popular network security scanner that is used by businesses and organizations to identify vulnerabilities in their systems. If you are interviewing for a position that involves Nessus, it is important to be prepared to answer questions about the tool. In this article, we review some of the most common Nessus interview questions and provide tips on how to answer them.
Nessus is a vulnerability scanner that is used to identify potential security issues in systems and applications. OpenVAS is an open source vulnerability scanner that is used to identify potential security issues in systems and applications. Metasploit is a penetration testing tool that can be used to exploit vulnerabilities in systems and applications.
To check if a system has a “Guest only” sharing and security model go to the Control Panel, open “Administrative Tools,” and then “Local Security Policy”. In that window go to Local Policies –> Security Options –> Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts. On some Windows installations, this is set to “Guest only – local users authenticate as Guest” by default. If this is the setting on your box, you will need to change it to “Classic – local users authenticate as themselves”.PLEASE NOTE: Some of the settings above may, in some environments, actually decrease the security of a system. If this is the case, once the credentialed scan is performed, it is advisable to return the system to its previous state.
Credentialed scans are scans in which the scanning computer has an account on the computer being scanned that allows the scanner to do a more thorough check looking for problems that can not be seen from the network. Examples of the sorts of checks that a credentialed scan can do include checks to see if the system is running insecure versions of Adobe Acrobat or Java or if there are poor security permissions governing a service. Information Security Office (ISO) runs Nessus scanners that are capable of running these credentialed scans; however, without accounts on the local machines, we are unable to use this functionality. With this in mind, ISO will create accounts on one of the Nessus scanners for departmental security administrators to do their own credentialed scans. In order to use the ISO scanners to perform a credentialed scan of a Windows system, the following settings are required by Nessus:
