Everywhere you turn, there's an article about hacking, or spying or big-data, or privacy or another data breach. Obama actually called out cyberwars in his state of the union message, and virtually every fortune 500 has open positions on their security teams.
Get into InfoSec ... as a generalist: CISSP, CISM, as a specialist, GIAC, CRISC, etc.
I worked crypto/comms for DOD, and this was a natural for me.
Best of luck,
