is security a hinderance to innovation ?

applications are key to enabling business functions. it may be communicating with your colleague accross the globe, or processing millions of transactions in a single businessday. but what is holding up all the innovation

its typical to hear security admins say "no it cannot be done, it violates security policy". information security exists due to all the information thats floating around the enterprise. but if it hinders innovation

i had the experience once while flying out ot St.Paul Minneapolis, my incoming flight was delayed, and the outgoing fligght left. this was continental. was given another ticket for the next flight. when i arrived at the other check-in desk, both my onward and return reservations were cancelled. this prompted me to understand applications better. more so middle layer technologies

messaging is one of the most complex technologies that enables today's life on the internet. we cannot comprehend doing anything without being able to send/receive/exchange messages. is there any innovative idea out there to make this any simpler. its just either a "0" or a "1".

its either can do or dont want to do because its a risk . but i was told "higher the risk, higher the reward"

comments welcome !
