Hacktivism is another controversial topic interviewers may ask you about when interviewing for an information security manager's role. Hacktivist organizations typically lack strong leadership and can be unorganized and malicious. While some organizations are created to assist software developers and network administrators in securing their products, others are malicious and seek to identify the vulnerabilities of popular software products. The interviewer wants to know your position on this and whether you will work to prevent hacktivism or embrace it as a way to improve the organization's information security practices.
