Hello ,
I think you must be refering to Ethical Hacking. So, you can choose any of the two course because in most of the course syllabus cyber security is not in much detail but if you want to learn in depth you need to do any certificate course and you should get certified by EC Council to be a certified ethical hacker.
So you can choose any course like BSc CS , BSc IT , BCA or even you can be ethical hacker without any degree you just need certification from EC Council .
