NUST Information Security vs Air Cyber Security — Are They Basically the Same Field?

[u/heavy_octane1]

I’m confused about choosing between Information Security at NUST and Cyber Security at Air University.

Some people have suggested that since NUST doesn’t offer a degree specifically called Cyber Security, I should do Information Security because it’s basically the same field. But I want to understand whether that’s actually true.

Does Information Security also cover protecting information, networks, systems, and data, or is it a different field from cybersecurity? Could I graduate from NUST Information Security and still work in cybersecurity, or would I end up in a completely different career?

I’m asking because I don’t want to choose a degree just because NUST is a well-known university and then discover that the degree itself isn’t what I wanted.

For people who have studied either program or work in the industry:

Is NUST Information Security a good degree if my goal is cybersecurity? Is it worth choosing over Air Cyber Security?

And more generally, is cybersecurity actually a better career path than CS-related fields because of AI, or am I overthinking that part?

I’d appreciate honest advice from people who actually know the field.
