Above all-out evangelisation, the only thing that could stand up against the
IT boss in question is solid facts. Present speed test results,
testimonials, and other basically-factual data. Ask him why is it, exactly,
that he considers CF a security risk and PHP not one. If the boss is at
least somewhat reasonable, he'll at least hear your concerns. If he's
completely unresponsive, then it really doesn't reflect well on his ability
to manage, does it?
