   I find that "don't have" usually means that they don't want to spend any   
   money. It is a common problem with people who are cheap or don't understand   
   security. Ask them if they would be comfortable storing all of their   
   confidential records in cardboard boxes out in the lobby. Then explain to   
   them that doing a cheepo no security network is the same thing. It is   
   amazing how many people think computer related stuff should be free. It is a   
   cost of doing business. Just like the safe, alarm system, sprinklers and   
   safe deposit box at the bank.

   No one is attacking. It is important to educate people who don't understand   
   that their business can be completely compromised because of their   
   reluctance to address network security.
