Cybersecurity

Digitalisation, automation and information technology are experiencing a stormy growth in business, allowing complicated production processes to take place more and more efficiently. Business communications are also increasingly going digital, especially since the Covid-19 pandemic. These developments do come with vulnerabilities and significant risks. Digital networks are vulnerable to hackers who can disrupt entire systems and production processes via large-scale DDoS attacks, phishing and ransomware. Protection against this is therefore extremely important. Another problem is data theft: hackers steal databases containing sensitive personal information and customer data, and offer them for sale. The goal is identity fraud and scams, often resulting in enormous damage.

To prevent disruption and theft, a rapidly growing sector of cybersecurity companies has emerged, focused on digital security. More and more companies see the importance of this and are willing to invest heavily in it. They also realise that all the bad publicity associated with data theft can damage their company name.

Why invest in cybersecurity ETFs?

Cybersecurity is a dynamic sector with strong growth prospects. Hacking attacks are expected to be increasingly sophisticated, so cybersecurity will (must) continue to evolve as well. Companies will spend more and more on digital security. This creates stable revenues for Cybersecurity companies. These revenues will increase as complexity of cyber-attacks increase. It is not only companies that are protecting themselves from cyber-attacks. Individuals and governments also have growing interests in digital security and cyber resilience. Governments also want to protect themselves from terrorism and attacks by hostile nations.

ETFs are well suited to safely invest in cybersecurity. The sector is still young and barely crystallised. The market is divided among many different companies, and none of the players, so far, has a dominant position. The cybersecurity market is rapidly changing, making it risky to invest in individual companies. An ETF brings diversification, and investors benefit from the overall growth of this market. In all cybersecurity ETFs, US technology companies dominate.
