> Furthermore, after a couple hundred interviews over the course of my career, use of the term "cyber" is a huge red flag. Very few such people with "cyber" on their resumes are hired where I work.

Sounds like a workplace one should avoid. It seems quite petty that one would consider a harmless and a completely acceptable word to be a reason to look at a potential candidate with a negative bias.

Maybe I should start including the word "cyber" in my resume going forward to filter out petty employers like yours.

It's not the use of the word, it's the background that comes with it. Seeing "cyber" all over a resume usually means the candidate has been a contractor for some government agency where they run a vuln scanner and deliver the reports to someone, but don't really have any understanding of the results, or any real responsibility at all, usually.
