Redact security alert screenshots before sharing them
Security alert screenshots often contain usernames, IP addresses, device names, domains, tenant IDs, ticket numbers, detection names, and internal URLs. Use PixBatch to prepare cleaner copies for tickets, reports, vendor cases, or internal updates without uploading the images to our servers.
What to check before sharing alert screenshots
Treat security screenshots as sensitive by default. They can expose internal systems, account details, detection logic, and investigation context.
Blur usernames, display names, emails, IPs, hostnames, tenant IDs, case IDs, and URLs that should not be exposed.
Remove hidden metadata from exported screenshots before attaching them to tickets, chats, reports, or vendor cases.
Compress cleaned copies when screenshots are too large for ticketing or incident-management systems.
Generate hashes or an evidence pack when you need a lightweight record of what files were handled.
Keep the original screenshots private according to your internal incident-response or evidence-handling process.
Security screenshots that deserve extra care
A screenshot that looks harmless can still reveal investigation context. Redact and clean copies before forwarding them outside the team or adding them to broad distribution channels.
