As an Information Security professional, you would think that security would be my highest priority but it is not. Surprised? Let me explain. Security measures need to be as transparent as possible to my users. The more transparent the more likely my users will comply with then rather than try to circumvent them. That is why I'm concerned with operational inefficiencies. An inefficient process is one that is likely to irritate my users to the point where they seek a "better" way of working. This "better" way is probably going to circumvent my controls. I don't want that. I want my users to stay between the lines and operate within the approved process. I'm willing to be flexible on how I configure my security controls so that I don't introduce operational inefficiencies. It doesn't matter how good my controls are if my users look for ways around them just to get their job done.
