Information Security Officer Interview Question:

Tell me what's the difference between a threat, vulnerability, and a risk?

As weak as the CISSP is as a security certification it does teach some good concepts. Knowing basics like risk, vulnerability, threat, exposure, etc. (and being able to differentiate them) is important for a security professional. Ask as many of these as you'd like, but keep in mind that there are a few differing schools on this. Just look for solid answers that are self-consistent.
