About the Cybersecurity sector
As businesses move to the cloud and store more data online, protecting that data becomes mission-critical. Cybersecurity companies sell the firewalls, threat detection, and identity tools that keep attackers out — usually on a subscription basis.
Because security spending is one of the last things companies cut, the sector is seen as relatively resilient and steadily growing. It overlaps with software, so it shares that group's high margins and growth-driven valuations.
