Given the unprecedented situation with significant threats from Russia and China, Washington is not the only world power taking steps to strengthen the technical capabilities of its military and that of its allies while also seeking to protect the U.S. from cyber threats. Experts project that by 2027, the global network security market will command a valuation of $16.6 billion, representing a CAGR of 23.5% from 2023 estimates.

Long-term-minded investors would do well to include stocks from the segment as governments and businesses worldwide ramp up their efforts against cyber terrorism. But not all companies from the burgeoning subsector are set to last. Online security is a young, quickly evolving industry. Competition is heavy in the space, and demand continues to grow faster in both volume and complexity.

As a leader in security solutions, today’s featured company is poised to scoop up a significant portion of the whopping 15.6 billion the U.S. is expected to spend on cybersecurity in 2023. Unlike many of its competitors, this ticker is still reasonably priced.
