I've been a cybersecurity SWE, PM, and VC for a decade at this point and I've almost never found any relevant security or enterprise SaaS related content on HN.
For a hot second (around 2018-2019) there was solid conversations around eBPF, io_uring, or cloud posture management, but that doesn't happen on here anymore.
Same with MLOps and ML Infra as well - almost no one on here understands Infiniband, RDMA, or BLAS
The tech industry is MASSIVE - and most people are only clued into their own little niche. And according to HN, the only tech companies that exist are FAANG, Nvidia, Tesla, TSMC, and BYD.

FWIW "here" could mean "in this thread". It's pretty normal (and very visible here) that threads about X attract people working in X. I'm not sure this is happening here, I work in IT security but I clicked the thread because 32B caught my eye.
Lobste.rs for technical stuff. But most security related conversations by security SMEs aren't happening online anymore. We have specific user conferences and regional user groups now.
The cybersecurity industry is almost entirely located in the Bay, Seattle, Tel Aviv, and Blr/Hyd, so the really active user groups are mostly in those cities.
Cybersecurity goes hand-in-hand with IT, DBA, Networking, DevOps, and OS/Systems Programming - all functions that were previously looked down upon over the last 15-20 years.
Furthermore, most American CS programs made OS internals, Computer Architecture, or Distributed Systems optional, so the junior portion of the ecosystem doesn't exist in the US anymore.
I don't use Lobste.rs anymore because the owner irrationally blocked the browser I'm using, and I refuse to switch to a different browser just to read Lobste.rs. The owner seems like he has some issues to say the least.
Well, it depends what it does to your liability. If, in case of attack, it ends up shifting the blame to a third party, then yes, that's considered adding security in enterprise space.
No they aren't.
