Hi,
just a french example (please take some time before bashing).
there was a huge fire in a bank in paris in the 90s, and after this
event all banks started to think about disaster recovery.
for the security, as some other already answered, it depends on how
sensitive is the IT or the global management to security.
if some friend already has an issue with security, or if they had a
phishing problem with lot of money involved, I think they'll
think more about security.
for some companies, it's also part of their job to have the network
secured so they can sell their products (pills or medicine
for example).
then, you can even invest 20, 30 % to security, if the goal is only to
put the latest firewall and never watch the log, perhaps
the investment doesn't matter.
IMHO the hardest part is to maintain a good level of security (everyone
knows that as soon as you are connected to a network,
you cannot be a 100% secure) as your network is always modified.
