SPC Private RallyPoint Member, I'm not 100% about army MOS' but I know that the Air Force recently changed a few of their AFS' (MOS) strictly for cyber type things. It maybe a possibility if you really want to persue that route you could cross into the Blue. I can ask some of my army brothers if they have more detailed info and try to link you up with them or pass along the info. If you want more info on crossing into the blue just let me know.

It would depend on your plans, if you are trying to change MOSs asap then 17C wouldn't be a bad idea. However, 25D is for E6 and above and is a great choice too after you get your feet wet as a 25B. Just keep in mind 17 series is offensive whereas 25D is defensive.
