There is no way to prevent an intrusion, unless you do nothing and have nothing to compromise nor disclose (in which case any intrusion is useless - it is impossible to break non-existent glass).
The above statement is especially true for IT, because: "There is no such thing as a perfectly secure computer, unless it is switched off, melted down, encased in concrete, then tossed into a deep ocean trench. Even then, someone may work out how to manipulate gravity waves to get at it. Never assume any security measure covers all future possibilities, as this will result in great embarrassment at some point in the future." (sorry, I don't know the source)
