No-one said security was free.  Presumably whatever you are protecting
has a value (otherwise, why are you protecting it).  Any solution you
select will have a cost and have some probability that it will fail.
What you need to do is come up with a solution where the risk and cost
are acceptable given the value of what you're protecting.
