If you're in the cryptography business I'd just refer to it as digital security. ( Or cybersecurity if you prefer ).
It's the same concept but without the baggage of "crypto".

Why should I change? They’re the ones who suck.
And yet you are wrong :)
And libgcrypt in 2000: https://github.com/gpg/libgcrypt/commit/bf2fc9201cfa96cd70ef...
Totally normal and not cringy at all.

Here's a conference from 1981 put on by the IEEE:
I have to assume this is sarcasm, right?
That's literally what "crypto" has always meant for decades, cryptography.
The Crypto conference started in 1981 for instance.
What used to be "crypto" is now "cyber".
What used to be "cyber" is now "metaverse".
Most computers are not compromised because of flaws in cryptography or the application thereof, they are compromised because of operational security (opening suspicious email attachments, reusing passwords, running systems with default admin passwords, etc). These things have little to do with cryptography and are much better understood as "cybersecurity".
