Bruce Schneier did a talk in August on The Future of the Security Industry.  You can watch the talk here.  He discusses why selling security is hard, why buyers and sellers do not understand each other,  “Best Practice” being a herd mentality, why humans buy stuff, how I.T. is really infastructure and will eventually end up treated as a utility. My favorite part was his discussion of Prospect Theory and how it relates to the decisions businesses and humans make when considering security.  This is not a technical talk and so anyone with an interest in Security from a business or end user point of view will get value from listening to this talk.
