Would having a dual major degree in Computer Science and Cybersecurity & Operations have a negative impact while applying for work?

I'm wondering if hiring managers in tech might be biased against candidates with a specialized CS degree. Initially, I planned to pursue a degree in cybersecurity, but I was advised to opt for a more generalized degree. Given the course requirements, it was feasible to add a dual major, so I chose that route. Now I'm questioning whether I should reconsider my choice before it's too late. Although I'm still aiming to specialize in cybersecurity after graduation, I’m also hearing advice to remain open to unexpected opportunities in the tech field. I want to ensure I have flexibility in the future, so this decision has been weighing heavily on me.
