About the Cybersecurity test
Global connectivity and the use of cloud services to store data and information are helping companies to operate more efficiently and serve a wider audience around the world. But along with these advantages, there comes the danger of cyber attacks and data breaches. Cybersecurity experts help protect companies and their data from cyber attacks on their devices, computer networks, and cloud servers.
This Cybersecurity test assesses candidates’ skills in identifying and understanding threats related to endpoints, networks, and the web. This test also evaluates candidates' abilities to mitigate threats and attacks to protect company data and information. This test will help you identify experts for any cybersecurity specialist positions.
Candidates who perform well on this screening have real-world skills in protecting all three major areas of cybersecurity against theft and exploitation by malicious actors and campaigns. These include end-user devices (such as desktops, laptops and mobile devices), computer networks (including both hardware and software technologies), and data stored online via cloud platforms.

What our customers are saying

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.
The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.
For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.
I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.
For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
