"Infoscabs on the other hand can operate unseen and mostly undetected usually until it is too late"
That is down to who is watching, like in the real world, scouting the place, usually don't notice them, but if they have found a way which isn't monitored, they may be able to get in unnoticed. It's this part which is the problem. Most places will say that they monitor everything, when in fact they monitor nothing, just log, or have random crap showing up. They don't know what to look for.
Like with the bank job, someone cutting into a vault isn't normal, so is picked up and reported. Someone being some where they shouldn't is less likely to be, depending on who found them.
Most stuff with online security is post break in as the people monitoring do not know what to look for as people do not know what our of the ordinary, unless it's so blatent.
