3 Cybersecurity Stocks To Watch in 2019: Cyberfort Software, Inc. (CYBF), Proofpoint, Inc. and (PFPT) Fortinet, Inc. (FTNT)

NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DailyOTC.com News Commentary --  A series of cyber-attacks like WannaCry or WannaCrypt ransomware attacks and Petya rocked the globe last year, while it's difficult to predict what will happen this year, we can guess that cyber criminals will find new ways to carry out their attacks.

The pace of these attacks will only increase as more valuable data shifts online over the next several years. As such, demand for cybersecurity solutions will continue to grow, and cybersecurity stocks will continue to outperform.

The cybersecurity market is expected to grow from 152.71 billion in 2018 to 248.26 billion by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.2% during 2018–2023. The major forces driving the cybersecurity market growth are strict data protection directives and rising cyber terrorism. The cybersecurity market is growing rapidly because of the rising need for cloud-based cybersecurity solutions among Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).

Cyberfort Software, Inc. CYBF is strengthening the online security of companies and end-users by focusing on innovative practices such as Content Filtering and Ad Blocking. The acquisition and development of the latest cybersecurity technology helps to tap into this increasingly large global market. In line with their mission to deliver powerful solutions across multi-platforms for personal and business users, in 2016 they acquired Vivio, a provider of pioneering AI content filtering and software protection.

The company recently announced that it signed a letter of intent (LOI) to acquire Just Content Software. A due diligence review is underway and a final determination regarding this acquisition is anticipated within weeks.

By the LOI's terms, CYBF will acquire 100% interest in the Just Content App, software and underlying source code. Just Content is an efficacious and multi-functional ad blocking App currently available on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1031003372), that safeguards families and business, for example, from unsafe links, adult content, phishing sites and inflammatory hate speech found on the Internet with its proprietary ''Home Safe Filter'' and ''Business Filter'' products.

Acquiring Just Content furthers CYBF's commitment to provide the best and most effective ad-blocking software in the marketplace,'' said Daniel Cattlin, CYBF's CEO.
