$FTNT:NASDAQ - FORTINET INC - Cybersecurity will be hot in 2020

I've been looking for some Cybersecurity stocks for my portfolios and think that Fortinet might be worth a look. The wars of the future will increasingly be economic and with things like AI and Quantum Computing its going to be really interesting to see how defensive technologies evolve to try and combat them. Fortinet seems to have had some good price momentum lately up 66% over the last 12 months so will look for a possible entry - especially with the increased awareness the US / Iran dispute is bringing to the digital warfare space.
