They can break into any company's network but they can't break into every company's network.

I believe that if the NSA targets a company, they'll almost certainly be able to infiltrate the network after some nontrivial targeted and sustained effort. Maybe someone like Google could fend off the NSA but I doubt it. The NSA only has to get lucky once, Google has to be secure 100% of the time. It's a tough battle.

But the NSA isn't currently monitoring every private corporate network, that's just crazy talk. I think.
