Companies Lack Control Over Their Own Networks

The bad guys have figured out that virtually no business verifies if the certificates on their network are true and authentic.

Specifically, between 30 percent and 40 percent of enterprise network traffic is SSL (secure sockets layer), which companies typically let pass unchecked since an intensive effort is require to decrypt the SSL and sort things out, Potter said.

Additionally, enterprise companies typically lack the data capacity and manpower to track the several connected devices associated with each employer. Plus the adoption of bring-your-own-devices has led to weaker company control of devices since corporate policies can't be pushed to them.
