Mohamad,
What is your question ? The important of having a security officer or the
importance of network security within in your enterprise. Having a security
officer does not necessarily provide the 'importance' factor for an
organization regarding security. Having executive management that supports
implementing security and providing the resources for doing the right thing
should be more of a focus for your organization. Unless you work for a very
large organization ( employee count > 5000), having a security officer often
confuses executive management, a director of security or director of IT with
some focus on security IT related often eases the pain for executive
management.
But if you do go shopping for a security officer, make sure the person has a
command of the English language, has the ability to insert f-bombs in their
statements to shock and astound executive management.

Hi List,
I am trying to convince my management of the importance of having a
security officer in the enterprise. I have googled the topic, but not
much was found. I would really benefit from your suggestions on how to
approach the management.
