That's a good approach, but not novel and not the first host doing that.<p>Many hosts automatically scan and fix their clients sites and have been doing that for a while. Specially when you are talking about popular CMSs like WorPress, Joomla and drupal.<p>thanks,
Do they automatically fixing themes to CMS'es? Updating the engine is one thing, WorPress, CME, and so on, but that only takes care of a tiny portion of the attack vectors. In my experience, if a wordpress or a phpbb forum was hacked, then its the user installed/programmed theme that was the cause and not the engine itself.
I think this is lovely. From first-hand experience, I know how often something as trivial yet important as "updating that horrible Joomla website to the latest bug-fixed version" gets low on a company's priority list. It's really just a reason to host your site in a SaaS CMS instead of uploading a bunch of PHP files yourself, but in case it's too late for that, having the hosting provider take care of this is lovely.<p>That said, I think the article is an odd mixture of business-speak and nerd-speak. As a coder, I'd like to know whether it fixes my handwritten SQL injection vulnerabilities too (probably not). My boss, however, probably will need a simpler version to get the point.
Can you you say which languages/platforms your system is able to analyze/patch and explain some basic technical details of how it understands arbitrary customer code well enough to find and patch vulnerabilities?<p>Can it fix bugs and write a few new features for me too?
