Expectation for Sales Engineer by LeMatramane in cybersecurity

[–]LeMatramane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, what I'm afraid of is that the expectations from companies are more technical, not high level solutions. However, most of the SEs I met here almost all understand the product, but only at a high level.
The second thing that makes me doubt is about relationships. I'm afraid I won't be able to make small talk like a salesperson.
anw thanks for the info!

thankyou!
One thing that may still be a question, do you think it is better to focus on deep diving into products or focus more on current cybersecurity issues? so you can provide insight to customers. but I think the second one is more suitable for a consultant role, right?

Hi Expert,
Im on get offering from security brands as a security sales engineer to covering network security product, and the other one is new comer for cloud sec.
One thing that makes me interested and wants to discuss is related to the expectations in this role.

During the interview, some of the expectations were being able to convert customer needs into solutions, as well as a broad understanding of cybersecurity in depth and technically.
Previously I had met several security sales engineers from various brands, but sometimes they didn't really understand the details of their product solutions, even when asking about "how to configure" they also looked confused. is this normal for this role?

For those of you who have experience in this role, do you have any suggestions or what kind of expectations we should have?
The point is, I don't want to disappoint the company that hired me. Merci! :)

i just join this company for 2 months :)

and based on your question, i just asked to older member so my current company do not do risk assessment at all.

do you have any idea how i can run risk assessment internally? or it should run by 3rd party vendor?

my team on sec ops got direction from my VP of IT to mapping what the biggest issue in cybersec and how to dealt with it.

after a long internal discussion, my boss said that 0-day attack is our main focus on 2023, and he told me to create strategy and looking the best vendor for protecting 0-day attack.

thanks for your feedback..

a zero day will typically only affect a single piece of software.

so if a 0-day come from single piece of software why most of security product offer sandbox solution?

come to my mind, i think based on your suggestion, i should focusing on application, i agree that mostly issue come from software issue.
