The three key components of network security are securing the network infrastructure, user policies, and physical access. You've addressed how to secure the network infrastructure, so how do you address the other two challenges?

This question is two-fold; it is attempting to both discover your expertise in completely securing the network while also exploring your ability to collaborate with other organizations whose resources will be needed and over whom you have no direct control. Make sure your answer addresses both of these issues.

"You're correct, in order for the network to be secure, measures must be taken to prevent unauthorized access to the information from online, internal and physical threats. Online is actually the easiest to manage since it is addressable with a wide array of technical resources. Creating user policies such as authorizations, password policies and information sharing within the organization requires the cooperation of other departments within the company. The same is true when preventing unauthorized persons from physically accessing the network infrastructure. My approach to this is to develop strong relationships with all the stakeholders and create policies and procedures which enable them to accomplish their business objectives while still ensuring the security of the information the company depends on."
