I would be very excited about people working in cybersecurity in relation to protecting important information related to EA cause areas, such as in AI and in bio. This could definitely involve working for the US government but that could also involve working for AI companies such as DeepMind, OpenAI, or Anthropic. There may be some risks of automation- in that case, learning how to use AI and ML within cybersecurity sounds very promising.
