Long run I think@cyber sec with tech skills .but if you are doing actual development that will never go out of market
What about niche cyber areas, things other than penetration testing/development work
Cyber skills are definitely in demand but I don't know how much cyber strategy actually plays a role even now.cyber strategy will be more like audit I suppose.lots of review work and less money

As for cyber security strategy....there are some really cool opportunities in this space to align tech and biz strategy. But alas what Advisory1 said above is true....to many companies think that cyber security strategy is just an audit.
To do cyber security strategy...you have to hit an MBB or a smaller firm that can be creative in how they approach security (cough cough...like us)
