How many ISPs have too many network security people?

network security is a "loss center".  not just a cost center, a *loss* center.
non-bankrupt ISP's whose investors will make good multiples only staff their
*profit* centers.  the Good Guys and Bad Guys all know this -- the difference
is that the Good Guys try not to think about this whereas the Bad Guys think 
about it all the time.
