How? I've never heard this argument before from anyone. I think
it's a bogus argument.
I have mentioned how:
lacking transparency and bringing insecure technologies along with it.

This kind of thinking is one of the main reasons that users don't
care about security - because instead of working to empower users to
do what they need to do in a secure manner, 'security' personnel
instead focus on trying to keep them from doing anything innovative
or productive.
I respect the commercial doctrine your company tries to sell and even
the productivity paradigms inside Cisco's engineers' minds but I think
you need to acknowledge some statistics before writing such.
Users' constitute the main concern of any corporative network.
They will never be so aware as they should and from that point on, we
would be about to discuss the human nature which in not my speciality
nor my goal within this thread.
Have a nice day,
