Yep. I had a chance to go for a cybersecurity degree. And every time ive looked at that, the career path is basically an applied insurance job.
Cybersecurity does not make money. They do not raise the profit for a company. Instead, they are compliance, contractual, and legal defences to repel lawsuits and keep data boundaries clean.
And who's the first to go? Groups that dont make money. Like cybersec.
