Q: A member recently asked if there are any Canadian companies comparable to PANW. Although it is no where near the scale of PANW, I learned about PLUR last year from 5i Q&A's and found it intriguing. Below is a description from your DB that might be of interest to your reader.

Plurilock is an innovative, identity-centric cybersecurity company that reduces or eliminates the need for passwords, extra authentication steps, and cumbersome authentication devices. Plurilock's software leverages state-of-the-art behavioral-biometric, environmental, and contextual technologies to provide invisible, adaptive, and risk-based authentication solutions with the lowest possible cost and complexity. Plurilock enables organizations to compute safely and with peace of mind.

Q: Is there a Palo Alto of Canada? Small cap, mid or large? Or would you stick with US names in this area?

Thanks.

Q: Hello,
Would you please indicate which cybersecurity stocks you would buy at this time? Top 5 rating them in order 1 being the best to hold long term.
Thank you.

Q: Good morning. Would you please send out a few names in the Cyberspace security space and ones that are both in Canada and the US.


Thank you. Appreciate all your time and attention. Stay well and warm

Q: hello 5i:
Took some profits at an opportune time in AVGO and PANW. I'd like to stay in the tech space with the proceeds (still have half positions in the 2 sold) and was considering some stocks you like. I left out NVDA as AVGO is in that space. Which do you like best between ADBE and QCOM, assuming they are 2 of your favourites, and why.
thanks

Q: I am interested in investing part of my TFSA in cyber security US/Canada stocks/ETFs.
Are Cyber Security ETF (CYBR-T) and Evolve Cyber Security ETF (CAD Hedged) good buy? Are CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) and Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) good buy at their current price levels and are they high risk/high valuation, strong growth stocks?
Please provide the preference of your choices of three cyber security stocks and three ETFs and rank them, and brief reasons why you choose those stocks/ETFs. Thank you.

Q: Can you recommend 2 cybersecurity stocks with decent earnings profiles.Also, what is your favourite Cybersecurity etf?
Thanks for the great work.

Q: hello 5i:
We recently sold U: 50% gain and a bit too high valuation for us. To quote Peter: we would reduce very expensive growth stock exposure. Current tech holdings are CSU, PANW, AVGO, OTEX, TOI and DND; the latter 2 being about 1% positions. We would like to replace U with something "less" exciting and are considering TCS, APPS and QCOM as you seem to favour these stocks (like others, I read the questions/answers daily). TCS is very appealing as it looks to have a moat within the health care sector, but we also own VEEV and WELL. Is there too much overlap here? APPS is a volatile trader and not really in our wheelhouse, but is of interest. Can you make a suggestion as to how you'd replace U?
thanks

Q: Peter,

Cyber security seems to be a bigger and bigger threat. Is it worth getting involved in this space? If so, is it covered by the big tech names such as Microsoft, Apple etc or is it worth looking at specific ETF such as CYBR? Are there any stocks names that are interesting?

Thank you,

Q: Hello

which one of these companies is better from a growth perspective.

Also, with ransomware and corporate hacking being the new frontier for all CIO's and IT Managers, which 2 companies, in your opinion, have the edge with their technology and I can add these to my portfolio.

Thank you,

Rajesh

Q: SeekingAlpha suggests, today, that CRWDs $21 USD jump in stock price is related to joining the NASDAQ-100 index. Make sense to you? Thanks.

Q: Cybersecurity Question: Morningstar Canada suggests these three equities as candidates in the expanding cybersecurity sector. Your comments on these, please. Are there ETFs with similar sector exposure, but with more diversification?
1. CHKP - Checkpoint Software
2. OKTA - Okta
3. PANW - Palo Alto Networks

Thank you

Q: I am looking into Cyber security companies like Crowdstrike, Palo Alto, Fireeye and Fortinet. How would you rate these companies or are there other companies you prefer.

Q: Do any North American cybercrime-related companies interesting at this time? Thanks.

Q: Hello,with all the recent cyber attacks,and probably even more in the future is there any Cdn companies or more likely U.S. companies that could possibly see more business as this problem will not go away.Are their any you would endorse and why...thanks so much and have a great day.
