QUESTION 28 OF 30

Can you describe some of the ways you would secure a Cisco computer network?

Interviewers will ask you about different ways you perform your job for two reasons. One is to confirm that you have the skillset and experience to do this work. The second reason is to see if your methodologies are similar to the ones currently used by the Cisco network consulting engineering team. Questions that inquire how you do your job are known as operational questions. The best way to respond to these is to break down the process into individual steps and explain them in simple, easy-to-understand terminology.

"There are several ways I can secure a Cisco computer network. It begins with user education and ensuring that the Cisco users know the importance of keeping their passwords secure and updating them frequently. Next, I install strong authentication software which ensures that only authorized users have access to the network. I also use methodologies including antivirus programs, firewalls, and VPN technology. Together, all of these steps ensure that the network is safe and that the Cisco user information and company data will not be compromised."
