If you are responsible for security, its likely that you already know more
than they do.

"hackers" largely depend on basic human laziness (known vunerablities not
locked down, FTP 'quote rcmd', existing default user/pass, {command} hack in
old ADODB driver, etc.), apathy (User shares login with stranger, poser,
etc.) and general cluelessness. (User has 50 pics of cat named 'Buttons',
guess what their password is? :)) Or even evil. (ex employees)

I'd wager there won't be anything earth-shattering presented.
