Karp totally right. Itis ridiculous that these companies aren't working with the best cybersecurity people. Liability will wipe them out

Jim Cramer backed Palantir CEO Alex Karp's argument that companies failing to hire the best cybersecurity talent are setting themselves up for liability severe enough to end the business entirely.
Cramer's post on September 17 called it ridiculous that organizations continue to skimp on top-tier security professionals. A serious breach can trigger regulatory penalties, class-action exposure, and customer losses that compound faster than any remediation budget can absorb.
Any company with known gaps in its security posture carries a contingent liability that does not appear on the balance sheet until it is too late. Cramer's framing suggests the market is systematically underpricing that liability.
Karp has built Palantir's enterprise pitch partly around the argument that security is a strategic necessity. Cramer's alignment with that view signals the idea is gaining traction well beyond Palantir's own investor base.
