Hi there!
Congrats on your recent graduation!
I will mention that Cybersecurity does have a bit of a gatekeeper. Having the relevant course work and/or Certifications is a game changer.
With that I would recommend that if your major was Computer Science that you would need to show some more specialized training in Cyber. If you have taken any Cyber courses then you should add them to your resume. If you have any Cyber certs, you should add those as well or look into obtaining one. I would hate to have to mention going into another program but something even if intensive and short like a boot camp or a Certification training in Cybersecurity could add some validity to your goal.
The other important key can be to network in Cyber circles. Join some communities or groups and meet and network with some Cyber professionals. It was only a few years back that most Cyber professionals were self-taught and in corporate someone took them under their wing to train. You could try to find that someone.
Hope this helps.
