Cybersecurity, as a field, is in desperate need of identifying different roles within it. These roles are notionally understood within the field, but what they are called and what exactly they do hasn't really crystallized quite yet. You still see job postings for "Cyber-security SME" or whatever and the organization has almost no idea what exactly they want out or the person they hire. So they end up with bored, highly skilled, reverse engineers and pentesters running automated scans, or overwhelmed "security guys" who's career was running compliance checklists being asked to build a defensive intelligence platform.
I call this the "Cyber Dash" problem where there's many different kinds of Cyber-<insert job> but the industry hasn't figured out what those are, what to call them, what they do, and what the requirements are beyond maybe a handful of roles.
