What can the skills developed by cybersecurity professionals be used for

0 votes
I’m considering a career in cybersecurity, but I’d like to know more about how the skills acquired in this field can be applied. Apart from defending against cyber attacks and protecting networks, are there other areas or industries where cybersecurity skills can be useful?

Can cybersecurity professionals leverage their skills in non-traditional ways or even in roles outside the security field? Understanding the broader applications of cybersecurity skills will help me decide if this is the right path for me.
