Network Security , an interesting twist..

I had an interesting conversation with a CIO this week .. He felt that the whole network security topic was blown out of proportion and had no relevance to his small 1000- person organization. His no-network-security-for-me argument- The hackers and crackers are busy breaking into Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies and will not have time for a small 20 million dollar organization. An interesting argument that assumes that all hackers would do a 80-20 cost benefit analysis before breaking into sites.. :-0)

OMG! Ridiculous. 1000 person is not small, anyway!
