"Today's meeting organized by the SEC was an important and constructive step forward to address the soundness and reliability of critical infrastructure underpinning the U.S. capital markets. The recommendations discussed today with regulators and key industry participants are designed to accomplish three overarching objectives: to improve the operational resiliency of our markets, strengthen interoperability standards between exchanges and market participants, and establish a clear governance and testing framework for the industry.

NASDAQ has the responsibility as a market leader to take all necessary steps to ensure the integrity and reliability of the markets, and we intend to continue to do so in a highly collaborative way with the other exchanges as well as our regulators, recognizing that investor confidence is the cornerstone of a healthy market."
