SPC (Join to see) - Cyber Security is more difficult. Both are great paths but Security will give you more chances for growth.

Blend both of them for the best bet. They will run into each other in the future. I had been working in cloud computing for a few years, then became a SOC manager which is all cyber security, and now I'm a digital lead for a company basically explaining them to CEO/CTO/CISOs who don't really fully understand them.
In any event, get a few certifications to start the process. Security+, Cloud Essentials+ are 2 good ones from CompTIA. ISACA is another good brand that has certs. You'll need them to break into a ny entry level position now.
