"The first thing I would likely do after starting the job would be to thoroughly educate myself about the company and its products. I'd conduct research even before my first day; then upon starting I would attend any available demos, talk to my managers and new colleagues, and schedule meetings to learn whatever I can. Simultaneously, I will start building relationships with my new team and manager. I'd make sure I'm clear on exactly what my responsibilities are and what is expected of me. I'd also try to find out what I can do to make an impact right away on the security needs of the company."
