Interview question · Cloud, Container & AI Infrastructure Security

Your company just bought a CNAPP such as Wiz and connected it to 400 cloud accounts. How do you run the first 30 days?

The platform says 48,000 findings on day two. A strong answer ignores that number, proves coverage first, builds ownership, and fixes the few shared causes behind the critical attack paths.

What if · the follow-ups in this answer

The answer works through 4 follow-ups like an interviewer would

Two weeks after rollout, the CNAPP shows 48,000 findings across 400 accounts. Engineering leaders are already calling it noise, and the CISO wants a plan by Friday.

  1. What do you check before presenting any numbers?
  2. How do you turn 48,000 findings into a plan engineering accepts?
  3. How do you stop the number climbing back?
  4. How do you summarise the first 30 days with a CNAPP?

Each rung has a nudge, a model answer, the principle that carries over and the weak answer to avoid. Premium opens every answer and ladder.
