If he gives the talk, the trade rags will cover it, the C-levels that pay attention to the trade rags will get on the case of the Chief Info Officer, who will lean on their chief networking guys To Do Something About It, Dammit, and if the routers weren't secured to BCP before, they hopefully will be. If the talk doesn't happen, the C-levels don't see it in the trade rags, they don't lean on the CIO, who doesn't lean on the networking guys, who go off and deal with whatever *other* problem they have to deal with (like why their BGP feeds keep creating BGP Wedgies at two remote sites, or why they're having performance issues on one of their trans-ocean lines, or...) , and the company gets pwned by somebody with a rootkit.
