Course description
The Expel Product Manager Interview Course transforms your cybersecurity product management aspirations into reality through deliberate practice tailored to Expel's unique SOC-as-a-service environment.

You'll master the specific frameworks Expel uses to evaluate PM candidates—from threat intelligence prioritization to UX-focused security workflows—through hands-on exercises, not passive theory.
