Can you describe common web security attacks and how your web designs protect against them?

The best way to answer this question is to provide a brief overview of your understanding of the importance of defending a site against cyber security threats and then describe the measures you take to prevent this. Keep your answer brief and to the point, as with any operational question. Due to the importance of this issue, the interviewer is likely to ask use several follow-up questions to explore your qualifications in more depth. You should also prepare several examples of how you prevented or responded to cyber-attacks in your previous jobs before attending the interview.

"Unfortunately, cyber threats are an increasingly serious concern for web architects. Hackers are becoming more sophisticated, and their threats' nature is constantly evolving. As a web architect, I need to stay abreast of the latest trends in cyber security and the methodologies hackers use to attract a website. I employ several different defenses to prevent threats, including denial of service, man-in-the-middle, SQL injections, zero-day exploitations, cross-site scripting, and other similar attacks. Techniques I use include robust user authentication, firewalls, complex password requirements, and educating the website's users. These have been effective in my previous roles and have resulted in zero successful attacks in my last three jobs."
