Every year or so, we see headlines of some major hack of a government, corporate or social media site in which the data of tens of thousands of people is compromised and exposed to cybersecurity thieves.

We screened the Goldman Sachs research database looking for the top cybersecurity stocks that have with a Buy rating and found four top picks at the firm that look like very solid ideas for aggressive growth stock investors now. Remember that no single analyst call should ever be used as a basis to buy or sell a stock.
