Why You Should Buy Cybersecurity ETFs
Our world is becoming increasingly digital and interconnected, and the pandemic has accelerated that trend. However, digital transformation has increased the risk of security breaches and threats.
President Biden held a cybersecurity summit with top CEOs at the White House last week and called the issue “the core national security challenge we are facing.” Recent high-profile attacks have highlighted the need to strengthen our cyber defenses and spending on these products and services is likely to go up significantly in the coming years.
Since many companies in this space are newer and riskier, it is preferable to look at cybersecurity ETFs for diversified exposure to this promising but volatile area.
