CGI Associate Software Engineer – Cybersecurity (Fresher): Interview Questions & Answers

1. Tell me about yourself.

Answer:
My name is [Your Name]. I recently completed my Bachelor’s in Engineering with a specialization in Cybersecurity. During my course, I worked on projects related to ethical hacking, network security, and web application testing. I am passionate about learning how to secure digital systems and want to build a career in cybersecurity where I can protect organizations from cyber threats.

2. What is cybersecurity and why is it important?

Answer:
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks, theft, or damage. It’s important because today, most companies rely on digital systems to store sensitive information. If this data is stolen or misused, it can lead to big financial losses and damage the company’s reputation.

3. What do you know about the OWASP Top 10?

Answer:
OWASP Top 10 is a list of the most common and serious web application security risks. Some examples include:

• SQL Injection

• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

• Broken Authentication

• Security Misconfiguration

Knowing the OWASP Top 10 helps developers and security professionals build safer applications.

4. What tools have you used for vulnerability assessment or penetration testing?

Answer:
I have basic experience with tools like:

• Burp Suite – for web application testing

• Nmap – for network scanning and identifying open ports

• Wireshark – for analyzing network traffic
  I’ve used them in college projects or lab sessions to understand how vulnerabilities are identified.

5. What is the difference between vulnerability assessment and penetration testing?

Answer:

• Vulnerability Assessment is a process to identify and list known security issues in a system.

• Penetration Testing (Pen Testing) is a simulated cyberattack to exploit those vulnerabilities and see what an attacker could do.

Both are important for improving a system’s security.

6. What is VAPT?

Answer:
VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. It is a process where security professionals first find vulnerabilities in a system and then try to exploit them to check how severe the risks are. This helps organizations fix the issues before attackers can take advantage.

7. Explain the difference between encryption and authentication.

Answer:

• Encryption converts data into a secure format so that only authorized users can read it.

• Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user or device (e.g., using a password, fingerprint, or OTP).

Both are important to keep data safe.

8. What operating systems or commands are you familiar with?

Answer:
I have worked with Linux and Windows. I know basic Linux commands like ls, cd, chmod, grep, and top. I’ve also used the terminal for running Python scripts and checking logs.

9. Do you know any programming or scripting languages?

Answer:
Yes, I have experience with Python. I’ve written small scripts to automate tasks, analyze logs, or create simple security tools. I’m also learning Bash and PowerShell scripting to work more with system administration.

10. Why do you want to join CGI as a Cybersecurity Engineer?

Answer:
CGI is a global IT company that values innovation, teamwork, and learning. As a fresher, I’m excited about the opportunity to work with real-world security systems, learn from experts, and contribute to keeping digital platforms safe. I’m passionate about cybersecurity, and CGI’s culture of ownership and support makes it a perfect place to start my career.

11. What certifications or online courses have you completed?

Answer:
I’ve completed [mention any if done: CEH, CompTIA Security+, or online platforms like Coursera/Udemy]. These helped me understand practical aspects of cybersecurity like network security, threat modeling, and ethical hacking.

12. What is your approach to solving a security incident?

Answer:
If I face a security incident:

• I would quickly identify and isolate the issue.

• Then I would analyze logs and tools to understand the root cause.

• I would inform the right team members and follow incident response procedures.

• Finally, I’d document the steps taken and suggest preventive actions to avoid future issues.
