Q: What do ISPs really think about security issues?

As some of you may know, my primary job these days is tracking down
Bad Guys (tm), identifying threats, etc.

But enough of that.

One of my primary concerns has been, unsuccessfully, engaging the
networking community.

Why is that?

This "issue" is not imagined, nor is it a scare tactic -- it has,
for lack of a better analogy, grown in proportions only proportional
to the lack of engagement from ISPs.

ISPs have really, really been absent from the discussion, for various
reasons.

Is this a topic that the NANOG community would like to discuss in
a serious manner?

I'm just curious, because I'm considering submitting a "lightning
talk" at the upcoming San Jose NANOG, just to gauge & present some
of the major issues that we are seeing that could really use your
assistance.

Any input?
