Cloud platforms, databases, security, DevOps tooling. Stickier than application software once embedded - switching out an infrastructure layer is months of engineering work.

Fortinet, Inc. FTNT
Buffett-Fit: 83/100
Infrastructure Software has the strongest switching-cost moat in tech - once a database or cloud platform is embedded, ripping it out costs months of engineering and operational risk. ROIC above 30% is achievable here because incremental dollars of revenue come at near-zero marginal cost. Watch capex/revenue: heavy investment in datacenter buildout compresses near-term FCF but compounds the moat.
