Since the start of May, Fortinet<\/strong> (FTNT 1.14%<\/span>)<\/span> has rallied by roughly 74% as its cybersecurity software has been attracting new customers, and momentum has been building for its recurring revenue model. Meanwhile, there are major catalysts in play for the whole cybersecurity industry that give Fortinet meaningful tailwinds.<\/p>\n

As companies use artificial intelligence more, they are also creating more points of vulnerability, so they will need to invest more heavily in their cybersecurity. This should bring new customers to Fortinet’s offerings, and lead many of its established customers to expand their contracts to more expensive plans.<\/p>\n
