The growing digitalization of the U.S. financial markets has revealed the profound weaknesses to cybersecurity risks that question not only investor trust but also market stability. This paper looks at the impact of such breaches as ransomware, phishing, and malware on the resilience of a market and the view of systemic risk. With the mixed-method design, primary data collection was done by surveying investors, analysts, and regulators, and secondary data collection was done by case studies and regulatory reports. Results indicate that most of the respondents view the U.S. financial markets as very vulnerable, and breaches decrease investor confidence and result in restrictive investment behaviors. Cyber incidents have been broadly considered to have the capability to cause systemic shocks such as market volatility, reputation damage, and capital flight. Moreover, although respondents recognize the current regulatory frameworks, there is a doubt about their suitability for the modern, dynamic threats. The analysis concludes that cybersecurity governance is needed to minimize losses of money and also to ensure the stability and trustworthiness of the system. Greater collaboration between regulators, institutions, and technology providers is very important in ensuring resilience in the digital age.
