Security software is AI-benefited, not damaged; the sector is a strong investment as AI increases attack surfaces and security needs.
Evidence & details
Evidence
- +Previous call in February identified bottom for security stocks; names like NET, CRWD, PANW, ZS, FTNT have performed well, with CRWD nearly doubling.

- +Morgan Stanley estimated AI-driven incremental security opportunity up to $220 billion, far exceeding potential disruption to existing vendors.
Catalysts
- ⚡Enterprise adoption of AI requires stronger zero trust, cloud security, EDR, and AI security platforms.
- ⚡Agent proliferation increases security demand as agents automate more tasks.
