2 Cybersecurity Stocks That Just Crushed Earnings
In movies, hackers often target government organizations or critical pieces of infrastructure in pursuit of riches -- or to make some sort of bold political statement. While that happens in real life, the cybersecurity landscape is certainly different from those ambitious on-screen thrillers. This year has taught us that nobody is safe, and our largest companies have become digital piñatas for bad guys seeking economic gain.
Cyberattacks have become so sophisticated that predicting them can be almost impossible. The government even set up a public database filled with hundreds of thousands of known threats to help organizations protect themselves. But vulnerability management specialists Rapid7 (NASDAQ: RPD) and Tenable Holdings (NASDAQ: TENB) deliver solutions that can actively locate weaknesses in both local and cloud networks to keep malicious activity at bay.
Their services are in high demand from our most prized Fortune 500 companies, and they've both delivered second-quarter results that suggest business will only be getting better.
