Hasn't the field been called "cybersecurity" since... forever?

  Sure, but the appropriate shortening here is "security." Calling it cyber is like shortening email to "e".

    ...? There are lots and lots of fields of security that have nothing to do with cybersecurity...

      Cyber as a prefix basically just means "related to a computer network." If you're of a certain age, "cyber" primarily means cybersex. There's also cybernetics, cybercafes, and more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet-related_prefixes#%22Cyber-%22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet-related_prefixes#%22C...
