Information Security is Infrastructure??

Ran across a Slashdot post that says "Information Security Is Becoming Infrastructure". This is interesting...are we actually thinking security is separate from the underlying applications or services that are being implemented?
Security is an element of a solution we provide to our customers or if your an internal IT shop, the end-users. Sure there are components that are purely infrastructure items that IT uses to secure an environment, such as IDS\IPS, Anti-Virus, Firewalls, etc.
Maybe this Slashdot post shows us a symptom of the overall lack security posture technology companies tend to take when developing a solution. DO THEY THINK SECURITY IS A PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED BY SOMEONE ELSE?
