Information assurance is a specialty all its own in the Network Admin world. I have several folks that perform that task for me but I wouldn't consider myself an expert.

The bottom line with Security, however, is that the decisions cannot be pushed down to the "Security Guy". There needs to be understanding at the management level to inform users of the decisions being made and to ensure that security doesn't destroy usability due to its strictness.

I'll be learning more this Summer as I've got orders to the Marine Corps Network Operations and Security Center.
