According to Chaoxiang Research, UBS's September 28, 2026 research report indicates that the cybersecurity sector's current market-cap-weighted enterprise value to next 12-month free cash flow stands at 62x, while enterprise value to next 12-month revenue is at 15x, both exceeding levels seen during the COVID era. Outside of CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, and Qualys, most vendors experienced no acceleration in second-quarter revenue and billings growth, with third-quarter guidance proving broadly flat overall. Since the April 7 launch of Mythos, cybersecurity stocks excluding those four companies have risen by an average of 62%.
OdailyOdaily Planet Daily reports that Anthropic, the developer of the AI model Claude, is advancing plans for a large-scale IPO. Underwriter investment banks including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase have arranged preliminary meetings between the company's management and investors to gauge institutional investor interest and investment scale. Anthropic's goal is to go public as early as October. If the listing proceeds as planned, the company could enter the securities market ahead of its competitor, OpenAI. Anthropic raised $65 billion in its Series H financing in May, with a post-money valuation of $965 billion; its valuation in the over-the-counter market has already reached approximately $1.2 trillion. Measures by the U.S. government remain a variable factor.The U.S. Department of War listed Anthropic as a national security "supply chain risk" enterprise in March, and Anthropic has sued the federal government over the measure; the U.S. Department of Commerce restricted foreign access to the top-tier AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 in June, lifting the export controls 18 days later.
Odaily AI security startup Depthfirst has announced that its self-developed AI model outperforms Anthropic’s latest model, Mythos, in code vulnerability detection. It has discovered more critical security vulnerabilities at approximately one-tenth the cost, drawing attention from the cybersecurity industry.According to the company, a month before the launch of Mythos, it had previously claimed to have found a large number of severe vulnerabilities in key internet infrastructure code. Depthfirst now says its model has further identified multiple high-risk vulnerabilities that Mythos missed, all at a lower cost (approximately $1,000 compared to $10,000).Depthfirst CEO Qasim Mithani stated that the company has improved vulnerability detection efficiency through a “single-task-optimized AI model,” significantly reducing the cost of security analysis while enhancing coverage depth.The company completed $80 million in funding in March this year, achieving a valuation of $580 million. Alongside this, it launched the “Open Defense Initiative,” providing $5 million worth of AI detection credits to open-source developers and critical infrastructure projects for vulnerability scanning and security audits.
