> Trusted Access for Cyber program

Using "cyber" as a noun there seems language coded for government. DC has a love of "the cyber" but do technologists use the term that way when not pointing at government?

The finance industry does; I know private equity just calls anything security related "cyber", which irritates me.

Merriam-Webster dictionary:

Cyber: Of, relating to, or involving computers or computer networks (such as the Internet)

This is what I've always understood the word to mean, and how I've always seen it used, for decades.
