I feel your pain! Part of what I do is evaluate the security of small business networks, and there's always a huge amount of pushback from clients when you start talking about reorganizing a network to be more secure.... Especially when it means new equipment and increased management time doing things like OS updates, virus scans, backups, etc. But I've run into what you're talking about, too. Complicated further when the "best" way to do something involves money and time learning / rearranging.
