Very much depends on where you live or are willing/able to move to.
My perception (and I could be very mistaken) is that globally there is an oversupply of techies in a cooling and shrinking economy. Managements' infatuation with AI snake oil isn't helping either.
I get the impression that your skillset is highly focused and thus rather niche.
If I were in your position, I would broaden my horizons to other domains and seek out adjacent areas. BioTech seems to be one of several options. Of course to gain traction in that field might require biology related knowledge. But that is just one example.
In general, the challenge is find the areas where there is a real demand and figure out how to deliver into those areas.
It depends on what you actually want to do. Pentesting is very different to DevSecOps. So it's hard to give advice.
Also, the security engineering field tends to require more practical experience first - eg software engineer, or IT helpdesk.
