How to transition from Data Science to Cyber security?

Question

I am working as a Data Scientist for the past three years. I feel that the number of companies earning money through DS is limited and hence my career might hit the pavement soon ( I might be wrong here.).Hence I want to transition into another Domain where Data Science skills can be helpful.Would it be easier to transition from DS to Cyber-security? Which branch of Cyber-security would be easier to transition, if at all?Anyone here who has made this journey, and can provide some advice?Thanks

Interesting. My feeling was that data scientists are generally better educated then cyber security personnel, on average. Many data scientists hold a PhD, while a CS master degree is a typical degree of IT people.May I ask what's your education background and where you want to go?
