Cyber security vulnerabilities are now exploited on a daily basis for (attempted) criminal activities. While only global corporations (e.g., Yahoo, Alibaba or Adobe) make it into the media as victims, in principle every institution or company - regardless of size and purpose - is exposed to this risk at any time.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has also left its mark here as a catalyst. Digitization is making its way into practically all business models at an accelerated pace - be it in food procurement or in banking. The impact is felt not only in the effective delivery of the service, such as ordering groceries online, but also in the inner workings of companies due to home offices.
Experts predict a strong growth of this market segment of about 12% p.a. over the next decade. The growth prospects of cyber security providers are therefore positive.
Depending on the type of investor, there are various investment opportunities in cyber security to choose from. Due to comparatively high implied volatilities and low correlations, attractive coupons can be realized - in combination with "buy/hold" analyst ratings - in the area of barrier reverse convertibles.
