Given the greater attention to cybersecurity and the growing industry in an increasingly digitized age, investors can capitalize on the growth potential through sector-specific ETFs, including the PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF (NYSEArca: HACK), the first exchange traded fund dedicated to the fast-growing cyber security space, which reflects the performance of the ISE Cyber Security Index, and the First Trust NASDAQ CEA Cybersecurity ETF (NasdaqGM: CIBR), which also tracks companies engaged in the cybersecurity segment of the tech and industrials sectors.
While both track the cybersec segment, HACK tilts toward on smaller companies starting out in the software security segment, with a focus on small- and micro-cap stocks, which makes up half of its portfolio. On the other hand, CIBR leans towards mid- and large-caps.
