working in security and GRC myself, I completely disagree with there being less openings. If anything, landscapes are becoming more complex (integrating cloud and on-premise) and compliance requirements are increasing (e.g. GDPR). It's now meaning the security investment is needed more than ever. You can't ignore security and expect your solution to work.
However, the feedback and commentary that you have received may be in relation to your job market and saturation of skills.
That's great that you have experience with security - more in authorisations/access controls.
What you could do is start learning authentication; system security (hardening RFCs connections which links into authorisations); cloud security aspects and looking to the Identity Provisioning Service; Identity Authentication Service; and the Identity Access Governance Service;.
SAP Access Controls 12.0 has just been made generally available so there's some differences with 10.1 version that you could be reading up on
Certification is worth doing if your job market or employer requires you to hold it. I'm currently studying for security and it's making me realise how much I don't actually know.
The reality is competing in the job market is hard but the more you continue to learn and evolve your skills, the better your chances are of security a good work opportunity for the longer term.
Good luck
