Even companies that have plenty of firewalls, anti-malware, and threat detection still struggle to keep attackers out of their networks% of companies reported that their networks were breached in 2015, according the 2016 Cyberthreat Defense Report.

The problem is that these companies are at a serious intelligence disadvantage.
