understand that small and medium sized companies, for instance may feel perhaps overwhelmed and underresourced to tackle these issues so one thing that we have done, we put out guidance in this area in the last year we have also held events around the country where we've brought together experts who can really talk in a concrete way about the approaches that they use to tackle some of these challenges. so we're doing what we can to make sure that companies become more aware of what they can do to provide appropriate security. but i think it's a complicated issue but i think in my mind certainly one thing that is necessary is some form of legislation but also educational component, making sure that companies have the tools to deal with the issue. host: just to follow-up on the question a little bit does the f.t.c. have enough enforcement tools, if you're seeing flagrant violations of security? ms. ramirez: i think if there were to be data security legislation, one thing that i think would be beneficial would be to give the agency civil penalty authority in this area because our main authority,
