One big omission I see is Social Engineering. It's the easiest way to
hack, and the most overlooked aspect of security (i like talking about
Social Engineering).

Some other topics you may want to mention. These may be included in the
topics you have already:

Virii, Worms, DDoS (botnets), Spam, Spyware
Data Theft, e-Terrorists, Data Destruction
Natural disasters - Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity
Intrusion prevention (as well as detection)
User training
Security costs/ROI

Those topics came from a talk i gave to some MBAs on the managerial
aspects of security. There was also a section on how to think like a
hacker. If you want i can send it, it's .ppt but i created it in
OpenOffice.
