SecOps professionals need to be prepared for key areas in security operations. Interviewers often focus on incident response and threat detection. Below are some common questions:

Incident Response Questions

import os
log_file = '/var/log/syslog'
with open(log_file, 'r') as file:
    for line in file:
        if 'error' in line.lower():
            print(line)
