The Huge Opportunity in Cybersecurity (CRWD, CLOQ, FEYE, ZS)

The pandemic defines everything right now. But it isn’t just a short-term dynamic. This is a watershed moment. The future is changing in “sticky” ways through this process. Anyone who takes the time to honestly observe things from the ground up can see it.

Long term structural themes are accelerating, such as the move to ecommerce and collaborative virtualization. The big losers are destined to be in the commercial real estate space. The big winners are companies that enable increased reliance on virtual workflow and a basic rhythm of household life that depends increasingly on cloud-based data and information flow.

This transition parses the world of stocks into a stark binary distribution: the winners and the loser.

Among the winners are ecommerce and logistics facilitators and service providers that contribute to the secure participation of individuals and organizations in that distributed digital landscape. Cybersecurity is almost certainly a prime beneficiary.

With that in mind, we take a look here at some of the most promising names in the cybersecurity space: Crowdstrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:CRWD), Cyberloq Technologies Inc (OTCMKTS:CLOQ), FireEye Inc (NASDAQ:FEYE), and Zscaler Inc (NASDAQ:ZS).

Crowdstrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:CRWD) trumpets itself as a cloud-delivered solutions for next-generation endpoint protection in the United States, Australia, Germany, India, Romania, and the United Kingdom.

The company primarily sells its platform and cloud modules through its direct sales team. CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

The company provides CyberloQ, a banking fraud prevention technology that enables institutional clients to combat fraudulent transactions and unauthorized access to customer accounts; and Turnscor, a Web-based proprietary software platform, which allows its customers to monitor and manage their credit from the privacy of their own homes.

CyberloQ keeps user’s sensitive Personal Identifiable Information (PII) in “non-active” status, only accessible through a secure authentication process. Utilizing elements of a user’s PIN – in combination with the unique MEID or UDID of the mobile device – CyberloQ creates a robust perimeter that prevents would-be hackers from activating user’s accounts. Leveraging Google’s geolocation service, CyberloQ creates a virtual boundary – otherwise known as a Geofence – around each user and their confidential information.

CyberloQ’s Geofencing functionality is compatible with the latest wireless technology, including cellular networks, Bluetooth, and WiFi. Whether it’s a designated perimeter over a city, building, if a user’s designated Geofenced cyber perimeter is breached, the account is immediately disabled.

To breach a CyberloQ Geofence, hackers would need all the user’s PIN data, be in possession of the user’s personal mobile device, and be physically within the designated Geofence. CyberloQ Geofencing provides a flexible and easy to use proactive cyber security measure. It creates a scalable hardened target and keeps cyber criminals on the outside – where they belong.
