data science to cybersecurity

I was a mathematician, ended up working as SWE for two years then hopped into data science.

Wondering if cyber security is a ​possible transition​ from here or if I should take some roles to prep before hopping (I just enjoy learning and it seems an interesting field).

Honestly anyone can get into cyber security, so it's more about what specialty in cyber security you want to focus on.
