Adversaries may modify visual content available internally or externally to an enterprise network, thus affecting the integrity of the original content.

Disturbing or offensive images may be used as a part of Defacement in order to cause user discomfort, or to pressure compliance with accompanying messages.

Backup and DR-Actifio GO is a copy data management plaform that virtualizes application data to improve an organizations resiliency and cloud mobility. This capability allows an organization to take regular backups and provides several methods of restoring applications and/or VM data to a previous state. This provides significant ability to respond to Defacement since an organization could easily restore defaced images back to the latest backup.
