3 Candidates. 1 SOC Interview Question. (Who Gets The Job?)

Most SOC analyst candidates prep for interviews by memorizing definitions —
and that's exactly why they don't get hired. Interviewers want to see how
you think under pressure, not what you can recite.

In this video, three real candidates answer one of the most technically
revealing questions in a SOC analyst interview: an EDR has fired an alert
— suspicious process CMD.EXE spawned by Winword on a finance machine,
10 minutes ago. Walk me through your investigation.

Cybersecurity expert and SOC veteran Eric Capuano breaks down each answer
live — what they got right, what they got wrong, and what a structured,
data-driven investigation actually looks like in a real SOC environment.

Whether you're preparing for your first SOC analyst interview or leveling
up your triage methodology, this video will sharpen how you think through
EDR alerts, process execution chains, and incident investigation — without
the guesswork.

🔑 What you'll learn:
- How to trace process execution ancestry in an EDR investigation
- Why making assumptions during alert triage will slow you down (and cost you the job)
- What interviewers are really evaluating when they ask scenario-based SOC questions
- The difference between a passing answer and a standout answer
- How to pivot on data, not bias, during a live triage scenario
