The corporate/enterprise world may be a little different, but I'd bet the mindset is pretty much the same....make it work, make it absolutely secure....but don't inconvenience us.
Based on my experience your close, as in: ... mindset is pretty much the same....make it work, ...but don't inconvenience us.
Oh wait your talking about the corporate security experts point of view. I was thinking about the corporate end-users point of view.

Most of the corporate end-users I knew simply did not give _____ about security and I am talking about highly educated people with Masters or PHDs in Math, Science, Geology, etc. The exception was when some security policy caused them extra effort. Forget UAC type stuff, were talking basic stuff like having to change their passwords every 60 days or being logged out due to inactivity.

It's not just at work that highly educated corporate end-users have that point of view. I would constantly warn friends at work about the dangers of their home computing habits, and they would look at me like I was nuts.

"Stop visiting those porn sites and doing your banking on the same machine. No, your default configured NAT router will not protect you with those habits."
