Cybersecurity Breach Blame Cartoon: Search for a Scapegoat

The Scenario In this cybersecurity breach blame cartoon, we see the immediate, cynical reaction to a catastrophic technical failure.

While the monitor flashes "ALL SYSTEMS DOWN," the manager’s brain is already working on a different kind of recovery: his own reputation.

He delegates the hard work of "fixing it fast" to the employee, while he takes on the "strategic" task of identifying exactly whose head is going to roll for the incident.

The Observation This piece of workplace satire targets the classic corporate response to a crisis.

It critiques a culture where "fixing the problem" and "assigning blame" are treated as parallel tracks, with the latter often moving at a much faster pace.

It highlights a painful office reality: when the systems go down, the first thing management boots up is the search for a fall guy.

In a corporate security crisis, the IT team builds a patch while the leadership team builds a gallows.
