It doesn't take much to recognize just how much marketing has changed over the course of the last century.
From peddling on a street corner to a small audience, to blasting out social media messages to thousands of potential buyers across the world, marketing has matured greatly across the decades.
Of course, just because marketing is evolving doesn't mean that every marketer is evolving at the same pace.
So where exactly are you on the road to modern marketing? Check out the following infographic to find out.

First – would have been nice if the infographic was clickable. No one can read it as it is, it's too small.
Second – I'm quite surprised you're posting as "new", something that was posted back in 2012!! In order to read it, I had to go to Jess3… it wasn't on their main page. Clicked to see all – and it was in the 2012 stats! That means – while yes, the 'modern marketing' concept is correct, NONE of the stats are accurate as they're *old*. (The net moves so fast, if you don't have stats from the last 6 months max, it's irrelevant now).

Winston 1 The Effectiveness of Symbolism in The Scarlet Letter The effectiveness of symbolism in Nathaniel Hawthornes The Scarlet Letter adds to the story Hawthorne uses symbolism in many ways throughout this novel By adding this marvelous feature he makes it clear to what he is trying to accomplish The scarlet letter itself is symbolic In this novel locations colors and people are all major elements of symbolism that bring out the story Unlink other forms of symbolism used by Hawthorne location was a key ingredient in the creation of The Scarlet Letter She silently ascended the steps and stood on the platform holding little Pearl by the hand The ministry felt for the childs other hand and took it The moment that he did so there came what seemed a tumultuous rush of new life other life that his own pouring like a torrent unto his heart and hurrying through all his veins as if the mother and the child were communicating their vital warmth to his half-torpid system The three formed an electric chain 181 The scaffold is the location where most important events take place The scaffold is where Hester is sentenced to wear the scarlet letter and is also the location where Dimmesdale died confessing his adultery All public humiliation as well as punishment takes place at the scaffold Hawthorne uses the forest is another effective use of symbolism He shows how anything affiliated with the forest is considered evil to the Puritans however he uses Pearl to show the forest as being beautiful and natural Winston 2 Hawthorne uses also color as another major form of symbolism According to American Literary Classics Outside the door of the prison the black flower of civilized society sprung a wild rosebush in nominal of the deep sympathetic heart of Nature Black thus seems to symbolize the dogmatic harsh and restrictive nature of Mans law and civilized society whereas

DEKS7981 replied to DEKS7981's topic in Celiac Meeting RoomOk, thanks. That makes sense, too. I can see how removing 'big ticket' gluten items such as pasta and bread could make a big difference. Gluten-light seems like it still allows a person to enjoy some of their 'guilty pleasure' foods like crackers & cookies Good recommendation, thanks.
DEKS7981 replied to DEKS7981's topic in Celiac Meeting RoomHi mushroom, Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the heads up regarding testing. That makes sense, and when I read that I remembered reading something about consuming normal gluten up until you get tested. Thanks for the reminder. Not to be totally nosey, but I see you have your stats in your footer. From reading it, it appears you have stopped consuming a wide variety of foods. Were those all by choice? If so, why? Or are you intolerant of all those things, similar to gluten? And, if those have been eliminated from your diet, what does your normal diet look like? For me, removing potato, soy, gluten, lactose, legumes, etc, seems like a lot! I'm sure there is still plenty left to enjoy, though. Thanks for the help. I look forward to learning a lot more on here!
DEKS7981 posted a topic in Celiac Meeting RoomHi everyone, Just wanted to say hi and say that I'm glad to see a forum of this sort exists. While I am not personally diagnosed (sorry...I hope this doesn't make me seem like an outsider!) I believe it is quite possible that I suffer from Celiac or some form of gluten intolerance. Ironically, it appears that my wife also suffers from something very similar. We both suffer from a variety of symptoms, including terrible bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, bowel irregularity, irregular gas (sorry!), etc. The odd thing is that my symptoms (I swear! Unless I am out of my mind) appear to follow a pattern. Certain days of the week (each week) I'll have the same symptoms, then other days I won't. It is strange. However, I am not aware of any dietary changes based on day of the week, so I have no explanation for this. It just seems like they follow some sort of a cycle. Bottom line is that I have been reading over a number of posts on here, and have already learned quite a bit. First and foremost, my wife and I decided together that we are going to immediately begin a gluten-free diet once we can go and buy all the right foods this weekend. That is step 1. Next, we were thinking about going to the doctor to see if we can (or cannot) get diagnosed. However, it appears that many of you have had tests done and that results came back negative. Yet, and thankfully, you decided to go gluten-free and have seen serious (if not complete) improvement. This makes us both feel happy, to know that although a test may come back negative you can still see dramatic improvement if you go gluten-free. Finally, both of us have our thoughts as to why (or how) this may have started. For my wife, she used to be healthy as anything, but a few years ago she had to undergo a series of internal abdominal surgeries (including the removal of a major portion of her intestine), and this appears to be when things started for her. For me, I don't know exactly when it started, but I do know a couple things: first, I was diagnosed with Lymes disease a few years ago. I noticed someone on here said they were also diagnosed and that can sometimes have an effect on certain things in your body (they mentinoed auto-immune). I also know that people have been telling me lately (honestly, quite a few people in the last 6 months or so) that I have lost weight. I truthfully did not notice this myself, but everyone is saying it. I have seen that weight loss (unexplained) can be a symptom. I kept thinking... I have been eating the same, and exercising the same, so what is causing this. I just figured it was something natural happening in my body (just turned 30...old age? ) So, anyhow, long story short my wife and I have come to the realization that this sucks to deal with, and that a change has to be made. We learned about Celiac, thought our problems could be related, and we are going to go gluten-free to see if it makes a differnce. Fingers crossed, we sure hope so. Best of luck to everyone else out there. It seems like a lot of people suffer from this, to varying degrees of severity. I wish everyone well and once again we are glad to know you are out there!

Undoubtedly, at some point in your life, a recipe has told you to brown or caramelize some onions for 5-10 minutes. As many frustrated cooks have found through experience, this step of the recipe is a damned lie. In fact, the now-ubiquitous suggestion of 5-10 minutes isn't even a remote approximation of the amount of time it takes to brown an onion; Alton Brown and Julia Child weigh in on the matter, suggesting that the task can take anywhere from 45 minute to an hour.

Everything you would only do in the privacy of your own home, Jon Kyl prefers to do on a subway car. #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement
Last week during the Senate budget negotiations, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), gave a speech that included the following statement: "If you want an abortion, you go to Planned Parenthood, and that's well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does." That statement is drastically different from the statistics reported by Planned Parenthood, which list 90 percent of its services as preventive in nature, compared with 3 percent that are abortion-related. When asked about this apparent discrepancy, Jon Kyl's office replied that "his remark was not intended to be a factual statement." And that is when things got noisy. [more inside]

It's tough to get recognition for members of the U.S. swimming team these days if their name isn't Michael Phelps, Missy Franklin, Ryan Lochte or Allison Schmitt.
There were others, like Rebecca Soni, who had phenomenal performances that were overshadowed by those four icons in the 2012 Olympic Games.
On that note, we thought it would be good to honor those "other" Americans swimmers who put together noteworthy efforts that should have been highlighted more than they were.

Is Rajon Rondo the best point guard in the league?
If you're talking about guys still playing right now, I'd think so. His competition is Nate Robinson, Derek Fisher and Jordan Farmar. To me, that's no competition.
However, asking if he's the best point guard in the league doesn't leave us confined to just the NBA Finals. Indeed, that question requires a look at an entire body of work.
While Darrell Horwitz recently looked at career numbers to tell a story, I'd like to rank the top five starting point guards based on the 2009-2010 Regular Season.

The SEC is home to a ton of great players, but there are two standout sophomore running backs that are attracting higher than average attention from SEC fans and national media.
South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore has been absolutely impressive so far thus season, and Lattimore will have another chance to showcase his skills when the Gamecocks host the defending BCS champion Auburn Tigers—which also happens to be the team of the other impressive SEC sophomore back, Michael Dyer.
Both of these players are clear Heisman candidates, so why will Auburn's Michael Dyer win a Heisman before South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore?

magnesium sulfate infusion
0 Does anyone know if it is standard to start 2 separate lines to run Mag on a PIH pt . I thought only necessary if running additional meds like antibiotics etc was it necessary.Apr 29, '12 by klone, MSN, RNTwo different IV sites? No, I've never run two different IVs. Not even if I've run abx, just make sure the abx are compatible.Apr 30, '12 by DebCRNBSN, BSN, RNWe don't run two mainline IV's to infuse Mag. We also piggyback our antibiotics into the mainline with the Mag and infuse then together. This works if the antibiotic is compatible with the Mag.Apr 30, '12 by peeweedeliveryNo! Not necessary...I've run pit, mag, abx, insulin and IV push meds in one line!! I always call pharmacy to make sure the meds are all comparable and make a note in the chart verifying that I called and who confirmed the safety. Running two lines is unnecessary stress to the patient...IMHO. :-)Apr 30, '12 by rhellner57thank you for your helpMay 1, '12 by DebCRNBSN, BSN, RNWe don't run Insulin with it. We do start another line for that.Jun 25, '12 by FyreflieJust my 0.02 but if I have a patient sick enough to be on Mag I like a 2nd IV. If you're running several things simultaneously it's easier to run two pumps--or two double pumps!-and keep track of your fluids that way. It does suck for the Moms but so do seizures etc! I also think running things like oxytocin and mag in the same line--even piggybacked at different sites--is a much higher risk for a medication error--ie after delivery, bolusing with mag instead of pit.

Not particularly an apple fanboy. However, I am long this dip.
Questions and comments;
a cheap iphone; US users get their 849$ phone for 200. Sometimes, they give you 100 for your dead 3d gen. How much cheaper do you want this to be, that they pay you to buy the phone and then you pay them back through the carrier subsidy?
AAPL has made an amazing game with the carriers of asking for their entire margin in return for allowing them to sell the phone...which moves the actual capture closer to 1100-1700 per two years. For a device they make for what, $353-$417? Probably less when you build say 10 million. A month.
You replace the phones every 30 months, on average. This means the entire market turns over every two and a half years, taking your invested dollar and nearly tripling it.
The phone sells you content that you cant pirate, they just take a cut of the sale price; they dont create any content, they are just upselling it. This has very little 'cost' attached, so its free money to AAPL.
The story about the cancelled orders is complete rumor and is nonsense. 65 million phones, 35 are already sold, idea is that then about 16MM screens, chips etc were cancelled, however no more than 3.5MM phones would be in the pipeline, so the cancellation concept is attacking about 5 times as many phones as would be in the monthly production pipe....like canceling 5 months worth of orders...
PALM claimed that foxconn returned 200000 phones and stopped production. They claimed the reason was that dealers were fully stocked; the reality is that they couldn't well 500000 phones in inventory. Two weeks later, the stock went from 10 to 3.
HLF fell less (70 to 50) on allegations that it is an illegal company subject to delisting and thusly worth zero. Ackman claims they are making up nearly 90% of their income.
AAPL's income is real. It is not based on the 'capture of a future marketplace' concept like the cloud, like SaaS, like mobile payments, or the online marketplace. Those four subsectors price stocks based on nothing.
There simply isnt any comparison; NFLX, CRM, PCLN, CMG and PNRA and AMZN (and RL, FOSL, DECK etc etc) have all moved from the low two figures to the low three figures on the QE stupidity. AAPL is the only one of these movers that deserved it.
Disclosure: I am long AAPL.

Casey Waterman
Moving to Miami just over four years ago, Casey Waterman was born and raised in a small rural town in New Hampshire. With over a decade of culminated work, his process and curiosity are mostly self taught and induced. His work, although can include a wide range of materials and mediums, is based primarily on the creation of a cut image from a photograph, drawing, or other form of visual media. In the removal of parts of the image he is interested in the tension between what is there and what is left out, why those choices are made and not what they say, but where they lead. The cut outs are then reintroduced as prints, paintings, sculptures and large scale murals. As an ongoing process of personal exploration he continues to investigate and create at his studio in Little River, Miami. Casey's work can be found in private collections along the eastern seaboard.
Claudia Labianca

Cone is a Miami based artist originally out of Habana, Cuba. His artwork can be best described as an artistic expression of graffiti oriented abstract surrealism. Cone makes his paintings into a fun experience by incorporating hidden messages and images within the artistic creation which is composed of mixed media, textured painting, that come to life though the use of the chroma depth lenses due to the way the artist overlays the colors and tones in the final painting. The paintings are used as a medium of full expression and therefore incorporate a lot of objects with double meaning and symbolism depending on placement and combinations used throughout the entire canvas. Some of the mixed media tools that Cone uses to bring the vision to reality include but are not limited to; Spray cans, Acrylics, Oils, Latex, Buff paint, and home mixed markers and tools using mixed pigments and inks.
Cosby Hayes

Danny Ferrer
22 yr old Daniel Ferrer is a Cuban-American visual artist hailing out of sunny Miami, FL. Influenced by today's culture, social issues, and spirituality his work is a breath of fresh air.
Jake Cordero
Jake's artwork reflects influences of cultural, spiritual, musical, and poetic energies that surround him daily. The ideas for his work tend to be a complex breakdown of that environment, which began as reactions, then sparked emotional connections with the images therein. He has been known for mixed media-intense renderings of the complex, with a twist of the imagery that strongly moves him. The interpretation of Jake's beliefs and experiences translate into works that embody the emotions evoked by his poignant life.
Jay Bellicchi aka REMOTE
Since moving to Miami in 2000, Boston native Jay has taken his place in the art scene as a dynamic artist with influences in graffiti, fine art & design. At an early age Jay was inspired by a budding hip-hop culture, as well as the alternative punk rock scene. Jay's love for music and art directed him towards graffiti, which influences and informs his work to this day. Jay creates abstract reflections of urban decay, layered chaos juxtaposed with crisp lines and shapes. Graffiti and street art deteriorate as time progresses, things get erased, gone over, crossed out and weathered. This process creates an aesthetic that speaks to me, one that I find beautiful. I aim achieve this aesthetic using various techniques in each of my paintings.
Luis Valle
Luis Valle is a Nicaraguan born artist living in Miami Florida. Born April 16, 1977 in Managua. In 1979 his family left Nicaragua for the United States because of civil war and political instability in the country. He grew up in Miami where he received his primary and high school education. Luis believes that spirituality has been lost in the mix of commercialism and fashion in art. He strives to bring the essence of the soul to his artwork. He believes that humans are inherently spiritual beings who are here to realize the same goal. Which is the self realization of his or herself and destiny.
Nate Dee
Born and raised in south Florida, Nathan Delinois has numerous influences including his Haitian background and the use of color in a lot of Haitian art, as well as street art, the design quality of African art and the drama of Greek art from the Hellenistic period can also been seen in his work. Additionally, he takes some influences from the new pop surrealists. His work is similar to a potpourri with a mélange of images and patterns. Usually based on a figurative element that is the focal point, the images and patterns are representative of his personal experiences, ideas, and philosophies.
Rei Ramirez

James Brutus
James Brutus is an emerging and promising artist who went head first into the art scene.

WPCongress allows your visitors to look up contact information of their Members of Congress, plus some info on bills, votes, etc.
This plugin allows your visitors to look up contact information of their Members of Congress (Senators and Representatives)
It is very rudimentary at the moment but will be expanded much, much further soon.
It's powered by free data APIs from the Sunlight Foundation and Govtrack.us. When necessary geocoding is done by Geocoder.us
You can see a demo here: http://thecoocoup.com/wptest/
Some basic capabilities to view information about a particular legislator, a specific bill or a roll call vote have been added.
These features are in a VERY preliminary state and will be significantly refined, streamlined, added to in future releases. They are powered by the Sunlight Labs Drumbone API (http://services.sunlightlabs.com/docs/Drumbone_API/).
Returns recent sponsorship/cosponsorship information for a given legislator:
Returns information about specified bill:
For example, HR 3590 from the 111th Congress would be "hr3590-111".
Returns information about specified roll call vote: * [wpcongress_roll id="h165-2010"] * id is of the format: [chamber][rollnumber]-[year]
For example, Roll Call 165, from 2010 in the House would be "h165-2010".
As stated earlier these features will improve significantly over time! A search interface and TinyMCE integration is also in the works to make finding legislators, bills and roll calls much easier.
Requires: 2.8.0 or higher

When irradiating targets with ion beams, it is often useful to accompany the experiments by computer simulations. This is frequently done using Monte Carlo codes. Several conventional codes do not support 3D target geometries and are thus not well suited to simulate the irradiation of nanostructures.
Iradina is an open source computer code for simulating ion beam irradiation of nanostructures. Its name is short for "ion range and damage in nanostructures". It is written in plain c and can be used on different platforms. Iradina uses some fast routines adapted from corteo, making it quite fast.
The scientific background of iradina is described here.

Europe is on general strike against austerity today.
The Morgenthau Plan and the Marshall Plan
Perhaps the most fruitful way to look at the debate between Morgenthau and Marshall that was carried on--largely below the surface, largely without explicit confrontation--at the end of WWII is that it was an attempt to figure out how to resolve call it two historical problems: the problem of European military culture, and the problem of modern industrial war. Economist Brad DeLong explains.

After protests by members and MPs of neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn and religious groups, the Athens premiere of the play Corpus Christi was cancelled. A journalist trying to document the protests was reportedly beaten while the police stood by. "A well-known Golden Dawn MP follows me. He punches me twice in the face and knocks me to the ground. While on the ground, I lose my glasses. The Golden Dawn MP kicks me. The police are just two steps away but turn their back". Full translation of the tweets. MP Christos Pappas was later charged for intervening in officers' attempts to detain a protester. The incident was captured on video, as well as MP Ilias Panayiotaros abusing the actors in a homophobic and racist manner (translation NSFW). [more inside]
Border crossings and shifts
Who Draws The Borders Of Culture?(NYTimes) Cultural border, as opposed to national borders, are funny things. One country can contain many (Coke vs. Soda. Vs. Pop, previously and previously-er).

After the immigrants, you're next
Actual fascists in actual black shirts are actually marching around Athens waving swastikas and burning torches, and maiming and murdering ethnic minorities, and world governments appear frighteningly relaxed about it as long as the Greek people continue to pay off the debts of the European elite. When the lessons of history are taught by rote, they can be easy to miss when most needed. This time, Europe must remember that the price of fostering fascism is crueller and costlier by far than any national debt. - Laurie Penney: It's not rhetoric to draw parallels with Nazism
Financial Markets, Politics and the New Reality
Financial Markets, Politics and the New Reality: "Louis M. Bacon is the head of Moore Capital Management, one of the largest and most influential hedge funds in the world. Last week, he announced that he was returning one quarter of his largest fund, about $2 billion, to his investors, [saying] it is impossible to make money when there is heavy political involvement, because political involvement introduces unpredictability in the market… Adam Smith and David Ricardo, who modern investors so admire, [never] used the term "economics" by itself, but only in conjunction with politics; they called it political economy… The investors' problem is that they mistake the period between 1991 and 2008 as the norm and keep waiting for it to return."

The ruins of empire: Asia's emergence from western imperialism Moreover, a narcissistic history – one obsessed with western ideals, achievements, failures and challenges – can only retard a useful understanding of the world today. For most people in Europe and America, the history of the present is still largely defined by victories in the second world war and the long standoff with Soviet communism, even though the central event of the modern era, for a majority of the world's population, is the intellectual and political awakening of Asia and its emergence, still incomplete, from the ruins of both Asian and European empires. The much-heralded shift of power from the west to the east may or may not happen. But only neo-imperialist dead-enders will deny that we have edged closer to the cosmopolitan future the first generation of modern Asian thinkers, writers and leaders dreamed of – in which people from different parts of the world meet as equals rather than as masters and slaves, and no one needs to shoot elephants to confirm their supremacy.

"The gypsy possesses without doubt a high level of natural common sense and skill; from this comes the resourcefulness and trickery that he uses to achieve his ends."
The tendency of existing research to treat the Roma as having first entered European political history with the Nazi genocide disregards a unique six-hundred-year history. It is indeed the case that the Roma, who over long periods of time lived nomadically and possessed no written culture of their own, have left almost no historical accounts of themselves. The heritage and documents therefore do not permit a history of the Roma comparable to that, for example, of the persecuted and expelled French Huguenots. What is available to us, however, is evidence – in the form of literature and art – of the way in which the settled, feudally organized European population experienced a way of life that it perceived as threatening. Despite consisting solely of stories and images that are defensive "distortions", this evidence provides a far from unfavourable basis for an examination of the six-hundred-year history of the European Roma, insofar as it is a history of cultural appropriation characterized by segregation. We encounter the traces of the reality experienced by the Roma almost exclusively through depictions by outsiders, and must use these to imagine those parts considered impossible to represent. The extraneous cultural depictions of the Roma – variously referred to as gypsies, zigeuner, tatern, cigány, çingeneler, and so on – have created heterogeneous units of "erased" identity and cultural attributes. The "invention" of the Gypsy is the underside of the European cultural subject's invention of itself as the agent of civilising progress in the world.

Rethinking the Idea of 'Christian Europe'
Rethinking the Idea of 'Christian Europe'. Kenan Malik's essay is awarded 3 Quarks Daily's Top Quark for politics & social science by judge Stephen M. Walt: "Soldiers in today's culture wars believe 'European civilization' rests on a set of unchanging principles that are perennially under siege—from godless communism, secular humanism, and most recently, radical Islam. For many of these zealots, what makes the 'West' unique are its Judeo-Christian roots. In this calm and elegantly-written reflection on the past two millenia, Malik shows that Christianity is only one of the many sources of 'Western' culture, and that many of the ideas we now think of as 'bedrock' values were in fact borrowed from other cultures. This essay is a potent antidote to those who believe a 'clash of civilizations' is inevitable—if not already underway—and the moral in Malik's account could not be clearer. Openness to outside influences has been the true source of European prominence; erecting ramparts against others will impoverish and endanger us all."

Why Africa is leaving Europe behind: Africans are relishing something of a reversal in roles. The former colonial powers in Europe are wrestling with debt crises, austerity budgets, rising unemployment and social turmoil. By contrast much of sub-Saharan Africa can point to robust growth, better balanced books and rising capital inflows. There is an opportunity in this novel scenario: for Africa to assert itself on the global stage, and for European countries to take advantage of their historic footprint in Africa by stimulating commercial expansion to their south. But it is far from clear either side will grasp it. Recently.

Orbán's concept of moral renewal and economic rehabilitation for Hungary has several tenets: Those without work are to be given work; those who are already working should work more in the future, but without being paid more; in the interest of the country's "stability," those who hold political power today should be allowed to remain in office for as long as possible; and those who once had power and did not use it for the benefit of the people should now be punished."Supporters of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán say he has a strict leadership style, while critics warn of the threat of forced political conformity, Jew-baiting and labor camps. Meanwhile, the European Union is saying nothing, apparently accepting the fact that a member state is getting out of control." [previously]

In Call To Action, Treasury Secretary Lew Urges U.S. Financial Sector To Redouble Efforts Against Cyber Threats
New York – U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew today urged financial institutions and firms to take critical steps to better protect consumers and strengthen the nation's defenses against cybersecurity thefts, disruptions, and attacks. In remarks at CNBC and the Institutional Investor's 4th Annual Delivering Alpha Conference, Secretary Lew specifically called on the U.S. financial sector to improve cybersecurity by using the Administration's new cybersecurity framework for their own systems and as a way to evaluate outside vendors.
"The consequences of cyber incidents are serious," Secretary Lew said in his remarks. "When credit card data is stolen, it disturbs lives and damages consumer confidence. When trade secrets are robbed, it undercuts America's businesses and undermines U.S. competitiveness. And successful attacks on our financial system would compromise market confidence, jeopardize the integrity of data, and pose a threat to financial stability."
The Treasury Department has been closely involved with the implementation of the 2013 Executive Order 13636, titled "Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity," and Presidential Policy Directive-21 (PPD-21). Treasury has worked closely with the Commerce Department, other agencies and the private sector to develop a cybersecurity framework that provides a voluntary blueprint that private sector firms of all sizes can use to collaborate with the government, improve the resiliency of their computer systems, and implement global standards in cybersecurity best practices.
While the framework is an important milestone, much more work needs to be done to increase our vigilance against cyber threats. Today, the Secretary also repeated his call for Congress to pass comprehensive legislation to improve information sharing by providing targeted liability protections while protecting privacy considerations.
"As it stands, our laws do not do enough to foster information sharing and defend the public from digital threats. We need legislation with clear rules to encourage collaboration and provide important liability protection. It must be safe for companies to collaborate responsibly, without providing immunity for reckless, negligent or harmful behavior. And we need legislation that protects individual privacy and civil liberties, which are so essential to making the United States a free and open society. We appreciate the bipartisan interest in addressing this important issue, and the Administration will continue to work with key stakeholders on the various bills that are developing in Congress," added Secretary Lew.
As the federal agency responsible for the financial services sector, the Treasury Department continues to work with stakeholders in the private sector as well as the government to enhance the security of the financial sector against cyber incidents and threats. Secretary Lew visited Verizon's cyber threats command center in Virginia yesterday, and today he will meet with members of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and leaders from the financial services industry in New York City to discuss the cybersecurity issues facing critical financial services infrastructure. Additionally, Treasury's Deputy Secretary, Sarah Bloom Raskin, will begin a series of meetings with federal financial regulatory agencies and trade associations comprised of state financial regulatory agencies to reduce cybersecurity risks to the financial system. She will be looking beyond traditional financial services to explore the regulatory, security, and inclusion aspects of financial technology.
Read Secretary Lew's full remarks from the Delivering Alpha Conference here.
The Treasury Department's Role in Financial Sector Cybersecurity
Through the Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Compliance Policy (OCIP), the Treasury Department is responsible for facilitating collaborative efforts with the private sector and government agencies to enhance the financial sector's security and resilience.
- Executive Order 13636 and Presidential Policy Directive-21 (PPD-21): In February 2013, President Obama released Executive Order (EO) 13636 Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity and PPD 21, which directed the Executive Branch to take key actions to enhance the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure companies and advanced a national unity of effort to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure.
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework: These actions include developing the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, which was released in February 2014. This framework provides a blueprint that firms of all sizes can use to evaluate, maintain, and improve the resiliency of their computer systems. Secretary Lew is calling on all financial firms to use this framework.
Ongoing Efforts:
- Cyber Intelligence Group: Treasury has also established the Cyber Intelligence Group (CIG), which shares timely and actionable cybersecurity information that financial institutions can use to protect themselves. The CIG coordinates closely with the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC), established by and for the financial services sector, in this capacity. To date, the CIG has produced 23 circulars containing cyber threat indicators and responded to dozens of requests for information to help the sector prepare for potential threats.
- Financial and Banking Information Infrastructure Committee (FBIIC): Treasury chairs this committee of federal financial regulators and membership organizations of state financial regulators to facilitate coordination on critical infrastructure matters. Deputy Secretary Raskin will call on her counterparts to participate regularly in FBIIC meetings.
Going Forward:
- Improved Information Sharing: The Treasury Department is working with the Department of Homeland Security, law enforcement agencies, and the Intelligence Community to ensure that relevant and timely threat information, reaches the broadest audience, including smaller firms.
The Treasury Department will:
- foster additional information sharing between industry and government partners, including by encouraging the private sector to share more information about incidents impacting their systems directly with government and through the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC);
- work closely with government partners to continue to enhance processes for sharing sensitive government information as broadly as possible; and
- promote efforts to automate information sharing processes.
- Industry Adoption of the NIST Framework for Both Firms and Vendors: The Treasury Department believes the NIST framework is an important and useful blueprint that firms of all sizes can use to evaluate, maintain, and improve the resiliency of their computer systems. This framework, which was released in February, will help create a common language and a set of common practices across different companies and sectors.
The Treasury Department will:
- encourage every financial services firm to use this framework to reduce cybersecurity threats;
- promote similar use of the framework by outside vendors and counterparties; and
- contribute to ongoing efforts to continuously grow and enhance the framework.
- Regulatory Focus on Cybersecurity: Treasury applauds the efforts of bank and securities regulators that are taking steps to enhance their oversight to meet the challenges presented by cybersecurity. Notably, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has established a working group to further promote coordination across the federal and state banking regulatory agencies on critical infrastructure and cybersecurity issues. This summer FFIEC member agencies are conducting a cybersecurity assessment during regularly scheduled exams aimed at improving cybersecurity risk management at community institutions.
- Interdependence across Sectors: Given the complexity of our financial system, catastrophic vulnerabilities are not limited to banks. Risks to the system can be found at the vendors, suppliers, and contractors that keep our financial system running. They can be found within industries that underpin the markets—like telecommunications and energy. And they can be found across the physical infrastructure that supports the U.S. economy, like our transportation system and water supply.
The Treasury Department will:
- work with leaders in the cybersecurity community to identify and mitigate the risks associated with cascading impacts of a cyber-incident;
- continue to collaborate closely with agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Energy so we can coordinate our efforts and make our economy more resilient to cyber-attacks; and
- enhance and expand information sharing about incidents of mutual interest.
- Cybersecurity Legislation: Congress must pass legislation to improve information sharing by providing targeted liability protections while protecting privacy considerations. We continue working with Congress and outside stakeholders, such as privacy advocates and industry, to ensure that evolving information sharing legislation aligns with the Administration's principles.
