As we work more and more in the SMB space (it is certainly underserved from an InfoSec standpoint) I continually notice that business owners/professionals use the data security and privacy segment as a barrier to automation, amongst many other excuses. Below is a great example.

As a technologist first, and as a data security and privacy guru/advocate being a very close second, I feel that it is our job to enable optimal performance through technology, instead of being the data security and privacy Gestapo. In other words, and yes it is cliche, we are and should be business enablers. Such matters are easier these days (e.g. WPA-enabled wireless routers), but it is a sales pitch that we must continually execute.
