Cyber threats from U.S. adversaries are spurring investor interest in innovative American companies seeking to help protect against potentially devastating attacks targeting government agencies and private sector organizations.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFTimportant 10-year contract worth up to $10 billion to help the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and its partner organizations defend against cyberattacks from American adversaries that increasingly include other countries and their agents. Without question, the risk of cyberattacks is on the rise and the stakes are heightening to counter such threats.

The U.S. Cyber Command, also known as CYBERCOM, is spearheading the DoD’s electronic countermeasures aimed at protecting against the most advanced cyberattacks. Established in May 2018, CYBERCOM’s key role in the DoD led to its elevation to unified combatant command status with a mission that also includes creating powerful offensive threats, if needed.

Investors interested in profiting from cyber security companies have a number of choices.
