Cybersecurity vs Cyber Security
I know the term "cybersecurity" is thrown around a lot.
This is a silly question but i noticed on LinkedIn and business cards that some people will have their job title as Cybersecurity Analyst or Cybersecurity Engineer, but others opt to put Cyber Security Analyst or Cyber Security Engineer. I've even seen it as CyberSecurity.
Was just wondering which one is correct? I assumed Cybersecurity is the accurate one but my TE spell check doesn't like that

The Associated Press style manual says:
“cyber-, cyberspace is a term popularized by William Gibson in the novel “Neuromancer” to refer to the digital world of computer networks. It has spawned numerous words with cyber- prefixes, but try to avoid most of these coinages. When the combining form is used, follow the general rule for prefixes and do not use a hyphen: cyberattack, cyberbullying, cybercafe, cybersecurity.”
This is why it’s ‘cyberguypr’ and not ‘cyber guypr’
Cyber means something you look for in IRC for a good time.
Cyber Security has the old connotation of military and/or nation-state involvement to me.
This is what is going to date me...
To OP's original question, is it e-mail or email? Honestly, it's not going to really matter.

I just think of the old saying "Wanna cyber?" when it comes to people calling it cyber or cyber security.
I guess it's like the older guys bitching about "The Cloud", so I try and not complain about it too much. I just don't like it. I guess I could be a cyber security cloud engineer.
I didn't think it mattered much, but for those who actually have that in their HR/Company provided title, it might

I’ve thought about asking them to change it to Cybersecurity. Not sure if it’s worth it, though.
I think some people think if it’s a noun, it should be two words.
Anyway, I think I found my next useless trivia interview question.
Don't help the government brainwash us!! *kidding of course this is a solid answer and will now back me up when I write cybersecurity*

Maybe that's the trick. If you're using it in a sentence, it's cybersecurity, but if you're referencing at as a job title, it's Cyber Security
so dumb and insignificant but it should be consistent
