Harvard University Just Sent a Huge Buy Signal for These 3 Cybersecurity Stocks

Harvard has decided that all classes for its 2020-21 academic year will be administered online, a move that foreshadows how other large institutions in the U.S. might respond to ongoing challenges created by the coronavirus. There's a good chance many schools and businesses will adopt a "better safe than sorry" approach similar to the one being taken by the country's oldest university.

Extended telecommute measures from schools, businesses, and other organizations this year point to rising demand for cybersecurity services, and the increasing need for these protections looks like a safe short-term and long-term bet. Investors looking to capitalize on the trend should consider these three stocks and add CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ: CRWD), Cloudflare (NYSE: NET), and Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) to their portfolios.
