Cyber experts - if you were interviewing a candidate for an entry-level Linux IR role, what one thing would you prioritise as essential basic knowledge to carry out the role? You might have many, but you have to start with one in the interview - what would you go with?

For entry-level I’d look for some experience navigating terminal/basic commands, the OSI model, TCP/IP basics & analysis skills. I might give them a packet and 24 hrs to deliver a write up on it. Also what are their daily learning goals. Would have higher expectations for Jrs.

I guess I’m the outlier. For entry level roles that I hire, my expectation is they will know very little and I’ll teach/train them. I’m mainly looking for someone eager to learn.

I’d encourage your husband to network with local infosec groups. They’re great for meeting others and educational for learning new areas of security. I’ll pitch @owasp local chapter meetings as a great one to attend because I’m on their Board :)
