The most interesting security guy I know comes from an accounting/auditing background. The similarities are amazing, especially they way they deal with risk. He's one of the few security people I know who treat security as a non-absolute, with tradeoffs in other domains. Also he tends of think about things at a higher level: not just what tools should we use, but what policies should we have, how should we encourage and audit compliance, how can we measure the real organizational benefit of policy changes, etc.
