Though anyone who works in IT directly may find it somewhat amazing that line administrators are often insouciant about security threats, this nevetheless remains a brute fact about life in the corporate world. From the executive's point of view, secuirty is simply an expense without reward [though of course insurance, in the ideal situation, is something analogous], and the risks may seem quite diffuse and hypothetical. A primer on how to educate management is therefore useful, and this white paper: "Network Security: 11 Reality Checks to Help the CEO 'CYA'" would appear to be worth a look.

In addition to educating student on the sorts of vulnerabilities which are present in today's networking environment, a paper like this can help them understand that they have to be issue champions as well. It also could serve as a useful starting point for discussions or exercises.

Another angle on this situation is presented in this white paper: "The Top Five Challenges to Achieving Outstanding Enterprise Security and How to Overcome Them", which can be found here:
