How about actively testing your systems with penetration testing?
When being offensive is a good thing!
Bruce Schneier on penetration testing:

I'm inclined to agree with most of his points.
Not every theoretical threat ever becomes an actual threat, and not every actual threat is an actual threat for a particular organization. The idea of security management is to apply cost/benefit analysis to find the best means to address actual vulnerabilities in a specific setting.
Thanks.

I thought his main point was "don't bother scaring yourself, if you're not going to do anything about it." As Ted Roche always says "Security is a process". If you find a reasonable security hole, fix it reasonably. I leave it up to you all to determine what is 'reasonable'.
