Cybersecurity Demand Is High—Yet This ETF Is on Sale
Submitted by Jordan Chussler. Publication Date: 2/14/2026.
Quick Look
- The global cybersecurity market is projected to reach $663 billion by 2033.
- The Global X Cybersecurity ETF tracks industry leaders and is showing signs of a bullish price reversal after being oversold.
- Institutional investors are moving in, with $211 million in institutional inflows over the past year versus just $56 million in outflows.
As tech's sell-off continues, some corners of the sector are hurting more than others. AI stocks in particular have taken a beating since late October, and the S&P 500's software index is down nearly 19% year-to-date (YTD).
Being pulled down with them are companies that are neither speculative nor at risk of AI-induced obsolescence. Specifically, firms operating in the cybersecurity space are reaching oversold territory after becoming victims of the rotation out of tech.
How the Rich Retire (Ad)
While President Trump's official salary is $400,000 per year... his tax returns reveal he's been collecting up to $250,000 PER MONTH from one hidden source. Until recently, most Americans couldn't touch the type of investment that makes up this investment. But thanks to Executive Order 14330, that just changed. If you love investing in disruptive new companies...
Discover how to invest in the fund Trump uses to collect this income >>Unlike many AI applications with ambiguous real-world use cases, the need for enterprises to allocate resources toward data and infrastructure security is only increasing.
One thematic exchange-traded fund (ETF) that offers basket exposure to the industry's leading names is currently on sale, having fallen nearly 22% over the past year.
Demand for Cybersecurity Continues to Grow
According to industry consultancy Grand View Research, the global cybersecurity market—valued at nearly $272 billion in 2025—is projected to exceed $663 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 11.9% during that forecast period.
Grand View cites "a growing number of cyberattacks owing to the proliferation of e-commerce platforms, emergence of smart devices, and deployment of cloud" as key factors propelling market growth.
Demand for cybersecurity is broadly distributed across industries.
Grand View notes organizations across verticals—including IT, telecommunications, healthcare, manufacturing, and government—"are increasingly adopting advanced cybersecurity solutions over traditional perimeter-based security approaches to address the growing sophistication of cyber threats."
Today, global companies typically commit between 10% and 20% of their IT budgets to cybersecurity. Government requirements are also rising, further fueling spending that supports market growth. By the end of 2025, for instance, the U.S. federal government had allocated about $13 billion to address this threat.
BUG: A One-Stop Solution for Your Portfolio
For investors seeking broad exposure, the Global X Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ: BUG) provides a basket of companies selected based on the portion of their revenue tied to cybersecurity activities.
The ETF launched on Oct. 25, 2019, and has had its ups and downs. Since its pandemic low in March 2020, shares have gained nearly 114%. However, the BUG is down nearly 7% YTD.
Among the fund's top holdings are Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM), Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), and CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ: CRWD)—a who's who of the cybersecurity industry.
Based on 20 analysts' ratings of its holdings, 13 assign the ETF a Moderate Buy rating, six assign it a Hold rating, one assigns it a Reduce rating, and none assign it a Sell rating.
While analysts' outlooks for BUG are generally bullish, other signals suggest downside pressure has eased. Current short interest stands at just 0.93% of the float, or $9.76 million, down from a five-year high of $38 million in February 2025.
Meanwhile, institutional owners have added more than $211 million to the fund over the past 12 months, compared with outflows of just over $56 million in an earlier period.
Technical Analysis Shows a Bullish Price Reversal Already Under Way
Beyond the financial strength of the fund's holdings and the industry's growth prospects, there are technical reasons to be optimistic about where BUG could be in the medium to long term.
One example is the momentum indicator Relative Strength Index (RSI), which ranges from 0 to 100 and helps identify overbought or oversold conditions.
RSI readings above 70 suggest an asset is overbought and due for a bearish correction. That happened the only time BUG's RSI crossed above 70 over the past year, when it reached 75.49 on Feb. 18, 2025. Shares subsequently fell, hitting a one-year low on April 7 when the RSI dropped to 30.32, before prices later rebounded.
Conversely, RSI readings below 30 indicate oversold conditions and the potential for a bullish reversal. That occurred in early February, when BUG's one-year chart showed an RSI low of 19.72.
That Feb. 5 reading coincided with the ETF's one-year low. Since then, the fund has gained more than 5% as its RSI recovered to 38.25.
Notably, the Global X Cybersecurity ETF remains below both its 50- and 200-day simple moving averages and has been beneath those levels since Oct. 29, when the tech sell-off began. Still, the rebound in RSI and the recent uptick in share price suggest the fund may be trending in a more constructive direction.
