Also, as many, many men on Twitter regularly point out to me, nobody in cybersecurity actually uses “cyber” anymore. It’s “information security,” or preferably “infosec.” More than a few times, after introducing myself as a cybersecurity reporter at a hacking conference, I was told to GTFO. (Dear reader, I leave the deciphering of that code to you.) As it turns out, introducing yourself as “cyber” anything is the quickest way to the door.
