1. Start with one or more engineers who aren't "fresh".  This is more
expensive, potentially much more expensive, but it's much more likely
to result in success than trying to feed a crash course in security
into the brains of people who've never done any of this before.  Even if all
those experienced people do is stop you from making well-known mistakes,
then the investment will be more than worth it.

2. I see that several academic programs were mentioned downthread;
one that I'd add to the list is UMBC, which is excellent.
