Sponsored Organisations are attacked every day: cybercriminals gain a foothold within the corporate network, and data is stolen and operations disrupted. The target of an attack could be your employer, a customer, a social media platform, or an intermediary responsible for secure access control, or financial record holding.

So, who is the victim and can blame be solely attributed to the attackers?
