I am preparing for UPSC, so I can help you with this question much better. There are 3 stages you have to cross to become an IAS officer. First is prelims then Mains and lastly interview. In prelims, there are MCQ questions regarding current affairs, science and technology, general studies, etc. There are two papers in prelims both are of 200 marks.

First of all, it's not easy to become an IAS officer. You need to crack UPSC which is very hard. Secondly, cyber security is not so easy. So, I would advice you to choose any one as your future. Now, IAS officer can't do other jobs while working as an IAS officer. Cyber security is a big concern nowadays and country like should focus on it. You have a good future in cyberspace but better to choose one option and focus on it.
