Interview
The first step was a telephonic interview, getting to know a bit about me and if I had any knowledge of cyber-security. They told me to read up on HTTPS beforehand as they would be asking questions about the protocol.
The second step was an online technical assessment. This involved finding vulnerabilities on a testing website they had built.
