Educate the managers. Your do this securely by having EVERYONE do
authentication. If that is too much of a bother then they shouldn't even
be looking at the nagios pages.

If you do not dare to tell this to them your self talk to your security
officer and let him/her explain this.

Or present them with looking glass. I am sure you can find that with
your favorite search engine.
