If you want to know what cyber security is, you can ask me, and I’ll tell you: it’s the thing I do (among other things) for a living. But if you want to know what cyber security is, it’s not enough to ask me; you also have to think about the answer.

If we did that, we’d probably figure out something like this:
Cyber security is protecting computers so that they continue doing useful things for us.
