Shares of cybersecurity companies including CrowdStrike and Datadog slumped on Monday, as investors weighed the potential impact of artificial intelligence startup Anthropic's new security tool on the industry.
CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: CRWD) has crashed nearly 25% this month as Anthropic's launch of “Claude Code Security” triggered a massive sector-wide sell-off. Still, it's conceivable that artificial intelligence (AI) disruption fears, at least for CRWD, are more a ghost story than a fundamental reality.
Cybersecurity stocks dropped for a second day as the threat of AI to the industry loomed large with Anthropic's latest AI tool that can scan code for vulnerabilities. Investors are worried these new tools will displace software business models and many tasks handled by cybersecurity vendors.
CRWD is leveraging partnerships with Microsoft, Qualtrics and others to expand Falcon's reach and fuel its next growth phase.
In the most recent trading session, CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) closed at $414.29, indicating a -3.57% shift from the previous trading day.
It's been a rough start to the year for the software sector, but one group of experts said they see big gains ahead for some beaten-down cybersecurity stocks.
Wall Street's current skittishness about software stocks has a blind spot: cybersecurity.

Artificial intelligence (AI) promises transformative productivity gains, but it also amplifies cybersecurity risks on an unprecedented scale.
Zacks.com users have recently been watching CrowdStrike (CRWD) quite a bit. Thus, it is worth knowing the facts that could determine the stock's prospects.
Anthropic released 11 new plug-ins for its Claude Cowork AI tool at the end of January sparking a massive sell-off in SaaS stocks.
CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) closed at $413.61 in the latest trading session, marking a +1.37% move from the prior day.
CrowdStrike has corrected ~27% since November, creating a compelling entry point as fundamentals remain robust and valuations have compressed. Growth momentum has reaccelerated, with Q3 net new ARR up 73% YoY and FY2027 net new ARR growth expected above 20%. Competitive positioning has strengthened, with platform adoption rising - 49% of customers now use six or more modules, and Flex ARR has tripled YoY.
