That's a good point, Kenny. Having a live duplicate of the database can help in quickly restoring any defaced data.

I believe FortiWeb also keeps a live duplicate of the database to protect against defacement attacks.

I agree with Rashad. Keeping hashes of files is a good way to ensure no unauthorized changes have been made.

I think FortiWeb protects against defacement attacks by keeping hashes of files and comparing them to the server.

Haha, I doubt FortiWeb would just make a full backup of everything. That would be way too resource-intensive. I'm betting the answer is more about selectively monitoring and comparing critical files.

You know, I was just reading about a case where a website was defaced because the admin forgot to update the WordPress plugins. Maybe FortiWeb has some feature to automatically check for that kind of thing?

Yeah, I agree. It's probably something related to file integrity monitoring or comparing hashes. That way, FortiWeb can detect if any of the website files have been tampered with.

Hmm, this question seems pretty straightforward. Defacement attacks are all about modifying website content, so I'm guessing the answer has to do with monitoring and detecting those changes.
