During a recession, is it safer to work in energy (like Exxon Mobil for example) or in cyber security?

The need for cyber will be steady, and I daresay growing. Energy has always been feast or famine. Fossil fuels have a lot of headwind in the future methinks.

Second SMCS1 - cyber demand is exploding and even if growth slows down, it likely won’t shrink. Energy is highly cyclical and even though oil prices are high right now that’s never a permanent thing

Energy isn't for the faint of heart. And once you get out of it, it picks up, and they pull you back in.

Do cyber security if you like stability. It's only going to grow.
