  The Interview: I am the best person for the job!

  Imagine you have several years of experience in Information Technology and you are trying to break into the Information Security field. You applied for a position at a technology company that creates products in the health care sector called Wellness Technology, Inc. The position is for an “Information Security Manager”. You had a telephone interview with a hiring manager. The telephone interview went very well and you are onto the next step of the interview process. You have now been asked to create a PowerPoint presentation with audio narration. The PowerPoint presentation will be a pervasive one and will cover several items in an effort to show the technology company that you are the ideal candidate for the position. Your audience is a nontechnical stakeholder of the company and therefore jargon should not be used unless it is defined so that a nontechnical person can fully understand it. Your PowerPoint presentation with audio narration should include at least 8 slides covering the following:

  • Accurately describe the difference between Information Technology and Information Security along with at least one example.
  • Describe at least three key features of Information Security with at least one example for each.
  • Describe at least two technical controls that can be used to defend against outside threats including examples for each.
  • Describe at least two technical controls that can be used to defend against inside threats including examples for each.
  • Describe your plan for continuing your information security education as a way to demonstrate that you will keep up with the ever-changing landscape.
  • Explain why you are the best person for the job.

  • Presentation should include at least eight slides.
  • Each slide should contain audio narration.
