Cybersecurity Stocks Jump Up to 5% as AI Safety Warnings Rattle Tech

Summary
Okta rose 5% in premarket trading, while CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks each gained 4.5%, outperforming a weaker AI complex.
Two days of warnings from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pushed investors toward companies seen as helping enterprises protect AI-linked infrastructure.
Amodei said risk prevention needs time to keep up with model capabilities, while Altman warned of losing control to AI and of power becoming too concentrated.
That backdrop strengthens the case for faster cybersecurity spending as businesses deploy more AI tools and try to guard against increasingly autonomous systems.
