If you actually want to get into the security field, here's a ton of free resources to get you started. It's also worth noting that one of the best things about this field is that no one (respectable) cares about your educational background: if you can do the work, you'll get hired in a heartbeat.
Open Security Training - collection of free, week long bootcamps taught by some very smart folk. I've only taken their intro to x86 class, but Xeno Kovah is a smart dude.
/r/netsec - sub dedicated to security stuff. You'll probably understand nothing, but just start skimming through and looking up stuff on the fly. After a few months, you'll start being able to follow along. I recommend avoiding /r/hacking and /r/howtohack as it's filled with FUD and skids (script kiddies).
