Hi Fishes, I’m preparing for an interview with BCG for a cyber role. Do any of you have recommendations on preparing for their case interview? Any insights or leads will be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

I went through the process & here’s the type of cases you can expect:

1. No/very little cybersecurity program currently in place at a company, board wants to invest. Where do you start
2. M&A, name security considerations

There were follow-up questions based on how you answer the initial question, some were: industry frameworks, implementation strat, risks and additional considerations

When approaching the case, answer with the business in mind always (seems obvious in cyber) - I got too into weeds of technical solutions and lost sight of this.

Overall, it’s much easier than traditional casing , however same casing fundamentals apply (good clarifying questions, case structure, hypothesis driven, and segmentation). Good luck!

Thank you SM1. Reply appreciate you for taking the time!

Did not interview with bcg but I spoke to mckinz about their cyber security expert role.

I had one simplish security question (maybe how to plan to build a secure enterprise app)...the rest were all traditional mba type questions

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments
