Information security analysts are heavily involved with creating their organization’s disaster recovery plan, a procedure that IT employees follow in case of emergency. These plans allow for the continued operation of an organization’s IT department. The recovery plan includes preventive measures such as regularly copying and transferring data to an offsite location. It also involves plans to restore proper IT functioning after a disaster. Analysts continually test the steps in their recovery plans.

Information security analysts must stay up to date on IT security and on the latest methods attackers are using to infiltrate computer systems. Analysts need to research new security technology to decide what will most effectively protect their organization.

I think you need to go look at what this job does.

An infosec analyst is not a cyber security analyst. You are conflating two different jobs.

Nope not worth it. The security industry sucks. They all want experience but don't want to train yet it's not an entry level career. So how do you expect people to learn the field? Too much gate keeping in the industry.
