Schneier points out why security is a tough sell in an interesting article that describes the psychology (and a rational explanation, even!) behind the reluctance to pay for security.
http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-0806.html#9 The bottom line advice: """ ..solution is not to sell security directly, but to include it as part of a more general product or service. Your car comes with safety and security features built in; they're not sold separately. Same with your house. And it should be the same with computers and networks. Vendors need to build security into the products and services that customers actually want. CIOs should include security as an integral part of everything they budget for. Security shouldn't be a separate policy for employees to follow but part of overall IT policy.
