updates on the sector metrics in support <strong>of</strong> DHS status reports. The Treasury <strong>Department</strong> also will use the established publicprivate<br />

partnership to share the sector metrics directly with the members <strong>of</strong> the FBIIC <strong>and</strong> the FSSCC.<br />

6.2 Implementation Actions<br />

As part <strong>of</strong> the overall NIPP, the <strong>Banking</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Finance</strong> SSP provides the strategy for public <strong>and</strong> private sector partners to work<br />

together to identify, prioritize, <strong>and</strong> coordinate the protection <strong>of</strong> critical infrastructure. This SSP also summarizes the extensive<br />

activities that the sector has done <strong>and</strong> continues to do to reduce vulnerabilities <strong>and</strong> share information. As the SSA, the<br />

Treasury <strong>Department</strong> has the responsibility to coordinate the implementation actions for the <strong>Banking</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Finance</strong> SSP. Given<br />

the dynamic nature <strong>of</strong> the sector, the Treasury will work closely with the FBIIC, the FSSCC, <strong>and</strong> its security partners to create<br />

dynamic implementation actions that allow the SSP to be flexible <strong>and</strong> adaptive.<br />

In the implementation matrix, each implementation action corresponds to the appropriate stage in the NIPP risk management<br />

framework. The matrix also describes the milestone for each action as well as the appropriate sector security partners who<br />

should be involved in the implementation process.<br />
