The stock market continues to be volatile as investors monitor the developments in the Russia- Ukraine war.  Late last week, stocks had rebounded as sanctions imposed on Russia were not as draconian as feared, but the US and its allies announced more aggressive sanctions over the weekend.

Cybersecurity stocks have surged over the past few days as many experts warned about the possibility of cyberattacks by Russia in retaliation to Western sanctions.  In fact, cyberattacks appear to be a part of Russia’s war strategy. Last week, many Ukrainian entities were hacked, which were the worst in the country’s history.

Several cyberattacks in recent years have been linked to Russian entities, including a high-profile ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline last year.

As our world is becoming increasingly digital and interconnected, the risk of security breaches and threats continues to increase, and we are likely to see increased demand for security products and services.
