Option3 developed its proprietary Cyber TRUST™ index from valuation benchmarks it had created internally to support private equity investment decisions. We made it freely available on www.option3.com  after requests from public investors.

The index tracks only pure play cyber stocks, and is not distorted by ETF-linked trading strategies, providing a focused yet unbiased measure of investor sentiment to the cybersecurity sector. 

TRUST™ also provides “context” through an evolving universe of sub-indices, or Indicators, which track highly tailored groups of stocks that vary greatly in size, typically include names not in the main Index, and are available only upon request. These Indicators allow us to gain insight into the industry’s changing dynamics, tracking it by sub-sector, technology, customer, or even geography.

Option3 produces a monthly two page report, Cyber TRUST™ which integrates TRUST™ with private strategies – M&A and venture – adding specialist insight from Option3 to provide a complete perspective on investing in cybersecurity.
