        That we need a security arrangement seems like a
        "no brainer" to me, but some people who wield 
        considerable influence with the VP claim we
        should have a completely open network and virtually
        no security. ...
        
        So I have to justify not our required level of security,
        but that we need security at all. ...

        BTW-- This is a much hated corporation who I think will
        present a huge target for the types of people who break
        into systems. 
        
Since its management you need to convince, There are some good articles in

Survey results are available on the web at:

Happy Reading (the riot act to those "influencial people")
