We can devise the best technical solution to a security problem, but that solution needs to be applied by people, by a business, to an organization, and/or in spite of objections.

The barriers people have to implementing security interests me greatly because it affects me directly. I know others have asked about "how to get buy-inhow to get buy-in" and "good ways to educategood ways to educate" but my question is about the other side of the equation.

I want to hear the specific reasons you have heard for a user, a manager, or a company user for not wanting to implement a more secure policy/procedure/product. The more specific the better.

Maybe if we better understand the objections to what we do, we can be better at working with those we seek to serve.

What are the best reasons you've heard for not implementing security?
