677 senior security engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Basic security questions, like TCP handshakes, how does ssh work, what tools used !! Have you done threat model and code review etc. 80% of the interview was businessy questions such as: "tell me about a time you took a risk at work" etc. (I am not sure why a technical position didn't have more technical questions and less leadership questions )
