hi, i think at this point of time web defacement will still occur however it is what the organisation do after it occur. There are a few web defacement monitoring tools in the market that you can consider. Google and you will surely find a few quite easily. Locally, ?ÿthere is a Singapore start up - Banff Cyber and what they do is proactive monitoring of the URL and at this point of time they do have a graceful solution which can provide continued web presence in the event of a defacement as you bring down your web server to have it cleaned up and patches done.

Typically, a defaced website would have undergone unauthorised changes to its appearance, often through altered, or totally replaced company logos, text content, or web pages in their entirety. The people who perform these attacks, mostly the hacktivists, are often driven by social, political or religious motivations.&lt;/p&gt;

Moreover, as these attacks are often targeted at web pages with significant traffic, they get noticed and exposed quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
