Abstract:

Risk and opportunity more often can be seen as two sides of the same coin, for which modern technology is a fantastic illustration. This dichotomy generates prospective market disruptions and a variety of future opportunities. The history of cyberattacks is thought to have started during the cold war. This dissertation investigates cybersecurity control to maintain investors’ trust in the securities market. A primary cause for the loss or decline in value of multiple financial markets was the lack of cyber-regulation in the financial sector. Does regulation offer the best means of preserving investors’ faith in securities? Is there a plan to replace it? The data demonstrates that the dangers associated with cybersecurity cause investors to lose faith in markets, resulting in considerable financial consequences. The study suggests that understanding the interrelationships with cybersecurity is crucial to maintaining the efficiency of the financial markets and keeping pace with their continuous and rapid evolution. The dissertation also highlights claims that regulations, particularly the disclosure approach, are evaluated to determine their effectiveness in the market. Although the national regime can be successful within its region, financial markets are known to be interconnected internationally and impact each other.
