3 Cybersecurity Stocks That Are as Hot as a July Day

I'm sure you heard the news—or received an alert—that Facebook's stock plummeted on July 26th. As investors sold, CEO Mark Zuckerberg lost billions of his net worth and Facebook shares dropped more than $40 a share, or 19%. That erased more than $100 billion of the company's value.

The NASDAQ as a whole also lost 1% of its overall value according to CNBC.

While Facebook went down (in valuation), we found three cybersecurity company stocks that have been shooting up. Fast.
