Some research suggests that 97 percent of organizations are already compromised, according to former Gartner analyst Eric Ouellet. And according to Ouellet the hackers are smarter and more persistent than ever, often having a better understanding of an organization's particular computing environment better than its owners.

Recorded on the streets of San Francisco with Security Current's Vic Wheatman, Ouellet who is currently VP of Strategy for Bay Dynamics says that hackers will find a way to get inside an organization's network even if it takes a long time. There is only so much you can do to protect your environment, Ouellet adds and points to credit card companies use of anomalous behaviors as where the industry needs to head to mitigate attacks.
