Many investors have shunned cybersecurity stocks over the past year or so as they’ve tried to assess how the companies will be impacted by artificial intelligence (AI). Evaluating companies and the markets they serve is a wise strategy, but with many cybersecurity stocks plunging recently, some investors have shifted more into panic mode than simple evaluation.
That’s opened up some buying opportunities for long-term investors. Here are two cybersecurity stocks that may be worth snatching up now after investors were too eager to hit the sell button.

1. AI is accelerating Palo Alto’s security business
Palo Alto Networks (PANW +1.21%) is an established cybersecurity company that’s made some big moves to shore up its position in the market, including its $25 billion purchase of CyberArk last year to get the company’s top-notch identity and access management security features.
Palo Alto is also looking to AI for growth. Palo Alto CEO Nikesh Arora said last month that the company saw “continued strength in platformizations, a trend that is accelerating due to AI — customers are keen to both modernize and normalize their cybersecurity stack, aligning them to our approach.” Arora added that as more customers adopt AI security, the company “will be a long term trend.”
The company’s Prisma AIRS artificial intelligence security platform has become a popular tool in its security arsenal, with the number of customers using the platform tripling in just one quarter. The company’s second-quarter results revealed just how in demand its security products are, with sales rising 15% from the year-ago quarter to $2.6 billion, and diluted earnings popping nearly 61% to $0.61 per share.
