How do they know that they are detecting the "majority" of the attacks?
I was under the, apparently false, impression that they would actually
not be able to detect the undetectable attacks....

Then again, I don't have my CISSP certification, and lack the skills
of making advanced protocols such as the newly released Traffic Light
Protocol ("TLP") for responsible vulnerability sharing by a certain
national infrastructure agency, who think that handling security is like
playing with Tonka cars.
