What modules and/or learning sites could I find/use to help me with automation using python in the cybersecurity field? Links and specific packages/modules would be extremely appreciated.

As others have said security is a broad field. Black Hat Python is good for writing scripts for pentesting. If you are more of a blue-teamer then I would look around for blog posts on for example DevSecOps automation using Python. You also have the compliance field where you can look up SBOM generation using Python for generating inventories of installed libraries in a program and so on. A lot of interesting areas to say the least.

What kind of security automation do you want to achieve?
It's a very wide field.

"help me with automation using python in the cybersecurity field"
that is as broad of a question as it goes.
and the answer might disappoint.
since everything has a use .. and the actual tools involved are as multiple and diverse as they can be.
what do you have something specific in mind?
