I assume you mean "decreases security" by context. And in that case - purely from a security standpoint - generally speaking the answer is yes. This is why security can often be a PITA when you're trying to adopt new things and innovate, meanwhile by default security wants things that have been demonstrated to work well. It's a known catch-22.
