Information Security Officer Interview Question:

Tell me who do you look up to within the field of Information Security? Why?

Submitted by: Muhammad

A standard question type. All we're looking for here is to see if they pay attention to the industry leaders, and to possibly glean some more insight into how they approach security. If they name a bunch of hackers/criminals that'll tell you one thing, and if they name a few of the pioneers that'll say another. If they don't know anyone in Security, we'll consider closely what position you're hiring them for. Hopefully it isn't a junior position.
