4. What does it mean?
• Defacements are more prone on Linux/Unix
platforms.
– Not because they are insecure, but because they
are used more.
• The “Attack-Surface” is widening due to
increase in web users.
– With an ever-increasing ratio of mobile web
users, this will be even greater by 2012.

5. Why can my website be defaced?
Hosting Flaws Development Flaws
Unprotected Network Coding Errors
Unpatched Servers Unhandled Exceptions
Legacy/Broken Software Web Vulnerabilities
The solution is to keep the hosting environment updated with the latest
patches/antivirus/software and to incorporate security testing in the SDLC

6. Is there any Alternative?
Fortunately, yes.
