The reason why cyber criminals are successfully hacking companies and organisations all over the world is because of the haystack problem: Networks are noisy and today’s cyber security software is failing to identify intrusions. Once inside a network, detecting an intruder's activity as a they setup for an attack is even harder, and like ‘finding a needle in a haystack.’  If found these ‘needles’ are often precursors to a coming network attack such as a ransomware attack.
