Clearly the standard dollars-and-sense risk analysis isn't a compelling argument, cos' it's been made for years, and the decision makers are literally not buying it.
Security is one of the building blocks needed to create a reliable network infrastructure. Those who build network services without security in mind will pay more in the long run. Reinstalled operating systems, lost data and damaged reputations translate to financial loss, and often denial of service. Not everyone who omits security pays a high price, but quite often they will learn their lesson. I don't really think there's much to do or change. Offer good security services and clients will find you, and when they come they will be ready and willing to accept your advice. -- "The more I C, the less I see."
