I would hope that it is written into a specific job description and
not thrown into the common 'admin' description.  Yes, a Computer Security
Expert is a capable admin (I believe he has to be), but he's more then
that.  He's a specialist in an incredibly fast growing field.  He has to
have a strong background on the systems he is going to secure, and if he
doesn't have the background, he must be a very fast worker, and must be
able to quickly adapt, and able to apply his knowledge in an effective
manor... Willing to work long hours & deal with office politics is always
a plus :)
