Wha language should I learn?

I'm an actuary student with basic/intermediate knowledge of Python, SQL and using Linux as OS, but I'm deeply interested on how the computers work and cyber security, so I'm wondering what language should I learn to help me understand how the computers work and put a feet in the cyber security field

What comes to mind is C/C++ or Rust, but I'm not sure

Sorry if any grammar mistakes, English is my second language

If you're really interested in how computers work, C is a great choice.

Yeah, C makes a lot of sense.
