One of the key qualifications a network consulting engineer brings to an organization such as Cisco is securing their networks and the data transmitted across them. When interviewing for this role, you'll be asked about the processes and procedures you use to accomplish this objective. Your answer can include standard industry solutions and unique approaches you have developed based on your years of experience. Try to make your answer relevant to Cisco's operations, which you should be familiar with based on your research before coming to the interview.

"I have several tools and processes available to help me maintain the security of all the networks I am responsible for. These include firewalls, VPNs, strict control of access and user authentication, specific security software products, and ensuring everything is kept up to date, and closely monitoring intrusions, spyware, and hackers. However, the most effective tool I have is making sure that the users are well-educated and aware of how they can prevent security breaches by protecting their passwords, not downloading unauthorized software to Cisco's network, and other similar practices."
