How do you keep current on new security threats?
The information technology industry is fast-paced, with new developments occurring almost daily. Keeping track of the technology, products, solutions, and most importantly, the security threats is a daunting challenge. However, as an information security analyst, your job is to maintain current knowledge about all of these topics. You should have a specific strategy for doing this and be able to describe it to the interviewer.
"One of the biggest challenges I face as an information security analyst is to stay current on the threats encountered, new developments in technology and security solutions available in the information technology industry. I do this by subscribing to several newsletters and blogs, attending industry events and meeting with software and hardware vendors, maintaining memberships in several local user groups relevant to the work I do, and frequently meeting with my peers to discuss the threats they are aware of and techniques they use to counter them."
