Why focus on cybersecurity first?

Cybersecurity is the proving ground for the DecipherU framework. Tier 1 SOC roles are getting automated; AI security roles are paying $200K+. The painkiller positioning that works for cybersecurity will work identically for software engineering, data, applied AI, and other knowledge-work careers facing AI disruption.

What's the AI security frontier?

AI security is the cybersecurity practice area that emerged in the last 24 months around securing ML/AI systems: prompt injection defense, agent security, RAG poisoning mitigations, model supply chain hardening, AI red teaming, and adversarial ML. Demand is growing faster than supply, and existing cybersecurity practitioners transition well because the threat-model rigor transfers.
