Ask him for the threat matrix he is concerned about and if you get the feeling he is throwing stones, ask him to also provide statistics for the threat matrix: for each vector he is especially concerned ask for percentage in total economy, his branch of business and his company "to get a better picture". ;-))

Thank you for your suggestions. But I don't want to ask him any questions. Getting into a pissing contest with a prospective customer is a sure way to lose potential business. I just need to give him some PC answers. I thought of the following items:
- I use an advanced AV and Security software on my computer
- I create frequent backups of the applications source code and keep it off site
- I do not let anybody to connect to my systems, no matter what the reasons.

I hope I could add one or two items to the above to make him go away :)
