Innovation and Security: Collaborative or Combative

Business cannot grow without the incubation and support of new innovations.

While at first glance it may seem that innovation and security are two competing priorities, IDC believes they are complementary. The survey conducted by IDC and funded by RSA reviewed how almost 200 top businesses and security executives worldwide thought about the impact of information security on business innovation.
