Indeed, brace yourselves as the floodgates holding back the poorly-developed AI crap open wide. If anyone is thinking of a career pivot, now is the time to dive into all things cybersecurity. It's going to get ugly!
If that were true we'd have no cybersecurity professionals left.
In my experience, the work is focused on weakening vulnerable areas, auditing, incident response, and similar activities. Good cybersecurity professionals even get to know the business and tailor security to fit. The "one mistake and you're fired" mentality encourages hiding mistakes and suggests poor company culture.
There's a difference between "cybersecurity" meaning the property of having a secure system, and "cybersecurity" as a field of human endeavour.
If your system has lots of vulnerabilities, it's not secure - you don't have cybersecurity. If your system has lots of vulnerabilities, you have a lot of cybersecurity work to do and cybersecurity money to make.
