Education of the end-user has been definitively proven to be totally ineffective over the years - there's tons of 'education' out there, yet nobody seems to learn anything.  End-users aren't interested in being 'educated', heh. 

The only reasonable posture to adopt is to assume a 100%-hostile environment, and to design and build one's networks/systems/applications/services accordingly so as to be able to function in said toxic environment.
