New York City, New York -- (June 14, 2013)

While the uncertain economic environment in the U.S. due to the fiscal cliff issue led to businesses scaling back their spending on technology products and services, spending on security software & services remained robust. One of the reasons for the strong performance has been increasing cyber threat. A survey from Gartner last year showed that security is likely to remain a priority in the coming years. Gartner expects security spending to reach $86 billion in 2016. On Thursday, June 13, 2013, shares in security software & services companies ended mostly higher, tracking gains in the broader market, which rallied despite ongoing worries over the Federal Reserve’s bond buying program. The major movers in the sector included Symantec Corporation (NASDAQ: SYMC), Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), Sourcefire Inc. (NASDAQ: FIRE), and KEYW Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: KEYW). StockCall reviewed the Security Software & Services industry and chose SYMC, CHKP, FIRE, and KEYW for its technical coverage. These free reports can be seen for free at
