hey all, maybe a slightly odd topic/question…
i’ve just had my CV accepted from a sift to go for an interview for a cyber security (defensive) based role.

as part of the interview I am required to give a brief (8-10 mins) presentation on a “cyber incident”; to include technical details, impact & how it could of been avoided. I’m thinking of doing mine on the wanacry ransomware attack on the NHS last year. obviously i know there’ a plethora of articles out there for me to trawl through but i was wondering if any of you bright minded individuals had any interesting facts regarding this attack or just any kind of input in general regarding the presentation on how i could make it interesting/unique.

additionally, the interview part will delve into topics such as general data comms, networking and pentesting/digital forensics.

what sort of questions could i expect to be ask on that front?

thanks.
