What this card says
Short answer
Group malware by behaviour: trojan, ransomware, worm, spyware, wiper. Then focus on prevent, detect, respond.
Example
Ransomware encrypts files for money; the defence is tested offline backups.
Say it in the interview
“I classify by behaviour, then stress least privilege, email filtering, EDR, and offline backups.”
Why it matters
