I'm often surprised at the public's disappointment with the realization that security processes are not directly analogous to the medical notion of immunization. In fact, single-shot protection does exist, and it serves to defuse individual threats with the simple application of patches, firewall filtering or other methods of protecting against single attack vectors.

Precisely nothing. But I'm very glad you asked.
People often confuse information protection with IT security. One of the reasons I resist the compartmentalization of my craft as IT security is that, as important as it is, IT security not only reduces the scope of my work by at least two-thirds, but it misses the point of what it means to truly enable protection for the intangible. It absolutely depends on people who are interested, educated and dare I say it, passionate. Security doesn't work without a high level of consistent human engagement. Privacy fails without passion and respect. In fact, nothing I can think of works well without a high degree of emotional investment.
