This question is designed to gauge your hands-on experience and knowledge in the field of network security, which is crucial for a Cybersecurity Analyst role. When answering, focus on specific tools and technologies you have used, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and security information and event management (SIEM) systems. Provide examples of how you have used these tools to protect networks and systems from cyber threats. Mention any relevant certifications or training you have completed. For example:
"In my previous role, I extensively used tools like Wireshark for network traffic analysis, Snort for intrusion detection, and Splunk for log management and SIEM. I also have experience configuring and managing firewalls such as Palo Alto and Cisco ASA. One notable project involved setting up an IDS/IPS system to monitor and protect against potential threats, which significantly reduced the number of successful attacks on our network. Additionally, I hold a CISSP certification, which has provided me with a strong foundation in network security principles."
