  • CrowdStrike, Cisco, Palo Alto Lead Cybersecurity Stocks to Record Highs in May
    May 22, 2026, 12:58 PM EDT. Cybersecurity stocks have surged in May, with the First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (CIBR) rising about 25%, outperforming semiconductor and software ETFs. Key players including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Cisco have hit multiple intraday record highs, adding significant market value. This sector outperformance contrasts with the usual tech trend where semiconductors dominate, despite SOXX's 80% gain this year. Cybersecurity's rise reflects its evolving role blending software, cloud, AI, and enterprise IT. However, some names like Zscaler and Okta lag behind. Investors are watching CIBR's key breakout level near $78; sustaining above it may confirm sustained leadership in the tech space, while a fall could signal a tech rally reversal.
