Online crime is accelerating, making cybersecurity a fast-growing and resilient investment opportunity. Our Cybersecurity and Network and Equipment analyst Meta Marshall discusses the key trends driving this market shift.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Meta Marshall, Morgan Stanley's Cybersecurity and Network and Equipment Analyst. Today – the future of digital defense against cybercrime. It's Friday, September 12th, at 10am in New York.Imagine waking up to find your bank account drained, your business operations frozen, or your personal data exposed – all because of a cyberattack. Today, cybersecurity isn't an esoteric tech issue. It impacts all of us, both as consumers and investors. As the digital landscape grows increasingly complex, the scale and severity of cybercrime expand in tandem. This means that even as companies spend more, the risks are multiplying even faster. For investors, this is both a warning and an opportunity.Cybersecurity is now a $270 billion market. And we expect it to grow at 12 percent per year through 2028. That's one of the fastest growth rates across software. And here's another number worth noting: Chief Information Officers we surveyed expect cybersecurity spending to grow 50 percent faster than software spending as a whole. This makes cybersecurity the most defensive area of IT budgets—meaning it's least likely to be cut, even in tough times.This hasn't been lost on investors. Security software has outperformed the broader market, and over the past three years, security stocks have delivered a 58 percent return, compared to just 22 percent for software overall and 79 percent for the NASDAQ. We expect this outperformance against software to continue as AI expands the number of ways hackers can get in and the ways those threats are evolving.Looking ahead, we see a handful of interconnected mega themes driving investment opportunities in cybersecurity. One of the biggest is platformization – consolidating security tools into a unified platform. Today, major companies juggle on average 130 different cyber security tools. This approach often creates complexity, not clarity, and can leave dangerous gaps in protection particularly as the rise of connected devices like robots and drones is making unified security platforms more important than ever.And something else to keep in mind: right now, security investments make up only 1 percent of overall AI spending, compared to 6 percent of total IT budgets—so there's a lot of room to grow as AI becomes ever more central to business operations. In today's cybersecurity race, it's not enough to simply pile on more tools or chase the latest buzzwords. We think some of the biggest potential winners are cybersecurity providers who can turn chaos into clarity. In addition to growing revenue and free cash flow, these businesses are weaving together fragmented defenses into unified, easy-to-manage platforms. They want to get smarter, faster, and more resilient – not just bigger. They understand that it's key to cut through the noise, make systems work seamlessly together, and adapt on a dime as new threats emerge. In cybersecurity, complexity is the enemy—and simplicity is the new superpower. Thanks for listening.

Richard also reflects on the importance of curiosity, communication, and adaptive leadership in today's fast-moving tech environment. Key topics include: How CIBC simplifies its 1,200+ app footprint to increase agility The bank's strategy for scaling internal IP and AI skills Bridging business and technology through vertical CIO alignment Quantum computing as both risk and opportunity in financial services

He shares concrete use cases, like Duke Energy Explorer for regulatory responses and generative AI authoring relicensing documentation, and conceptualizes a future where AI-powered drones and intimate co-pilots redefine operational productivity.Quick Hits from Richard: On strategic clarity for AI: “Everybody's waiting for me to say we did this AI thing straight out of a science fiction book, but the most valuable stuff doesn't always come with the spice.”On AI's impact at Duke: “We built a conversational AI that harvests data across hundreds of sources for regulatory Q&A. It's not banan, but it moves the needle every single time.”On business framing for AI usage: “We spent 2024 doing the unsexy work: protecting data, governing AI platforms. That was the homework.

This 100th Humanitarian AI Today episode focuses on blind spots in AI safety and aligning AI with International Humanitarian Law. Guest host, Andre Heller, Director of Signpost at the International Rescue Committee (IRC), speaks with Sergio Coronado, Chief Information Officer with NATO's Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), about important research that he is heading at the Luxembourg Tech School studying “blind spots” in AI safety at the intersection of artificial intelligence and International Humanitarian Law (IHL). Dr. Coronado speaks in detail about his team's groundbreaking research, which tested leading AI models against codified rules of humanitarian law. The conversation delves into the chilling discovery that while models refuse obviously harmful requests about 90% of the time, they can still for example be prompted to generate malicious code for targeting civilian infrastructure like hospitals, contrary to IHL. This dialogue moves beyond identifying the problem to explore tangible solutions, highlighting how simple interventions can dramatically improve AI's adherence to legal principles. It serves as a powerful call to action for the humanitarian and technology communities to bridge this dangerous gap and champion the development of AI that is not just powerful, but principled and fundamentally law-adherent.

Nos vemos en Summit Regias el 5 de septiembre en el nuevo Hotel Intercontinental. Asegura tu entrada aquíVivió lo corporativo a fondo, por decisión propia y casi que por necedad. No le gusta que le cuenten. Ella quiere ser protagonista de su existencia y estar en todos lados. Dijo que no a muchas cosas y aguantó con fuerza las que sí. Tuvo hijos, tuvo culpa y tuvo –sigue teniendo– hambre de más. Hoy es consultora, inversionista, consejera independiente... Es una lista con energía, de las que se salen de la norma y siempre dan más. Decidió que su camino no iba a ser el tradicional ni el contreras, sino el suyo MUY propio. A su hijo más vulnerable lo entrenó para la sobremesa, para los auditorios y para que su historia fuera una de orgullo y brillo familiar. Eso hace ella: forma, abre caminos, acerca oportunidades. Amplía y mejora cualquier cosa que la vida le pone en las manos.Acerca deVerónica Elizondo Ortiz es Ingeniera en Sistemas Electrónicos por el Tecnológico de Monterrey y tiene con un MBA por la Universidad de Stanford.

On the 54th episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (Abnormal AI) and Saam Motamedi (Greylock Partners) talk with Max Chan, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Avnet. Avnet is a $20 billion global technology distribution company that plays a critical role in the electronics supply chain, supporting the design, production, and delivery of devices worldwide. In this episode, Max shares how Avnet is utilizing generative AI to transform the way work is done across product design, quoting, customer service, and IT. He outlines their strategic maturity model for AI adoption and why CIOs must lead with experimentation.Quick Hits from Max:On evolving IT's role: "[We] moved away from the monolithic type of solutions into a more cloud-first, digital-centric composable architecture. That change truly helped with driving any and every innovation that we are talking about today.”On framing enterprise AI: "We bucket [AI use] into three types. First, we talk about out-of-the-box generative AI tools… The second bucket is what we like to call embedded AI… Last is truly custom AI solutions."On generative design: "The engineers, instead of coming with three designs [and having] the customer look at it, come back with some recommendations or questions, [and then] they go back to the drawing board; now they can immediately get in front of a customer [and] say, 'hey, look, these are the things that we can do if this is what you want [and] these are the parameters that you're changing.'"Recent Book Recommendation: Competing in the Age of AI by Karim Lakhani.  "A great cheat sheet for CIOs and CDOs on how to get started and what to avoid."-- Like what you hear?
