Uhm, InfoSec helps prevent your company from hemorrhaging money and trust in the form of fines and lawsuits. That makes them a touch more important than you make them out to be.
The bigger a companies customers are, the more important InfoSec becomes to your "core business", because the certifications and security required by those customers have large infosec requirements.
