Not ok to lie in my opinion, if they background check and find out it might affect you later

Gotcha thanks

Saying cybersecurity engineer in addition to associate is fine.

Role is not the same as title. You can list cybersecurity engineer as the role, with Title in parentheses as Associate.

I'd list your title assigned by HR, and in parentheses, you can note your functional title.
