Summary
The modern way of creating websites relies on using open-source code and plugins that are used as “pre-existing building blocks”. This has made building websites much faster and cheaper. It is the reason why this approach is now being used for creating everything from small personal blogs to large media outlets and web pages of Fortune 500 companies.
However, using open-source code introduces a major risk as the security of the website can be compromised. With parts of code originating from a wide variety of different sources, it is very complicated to check all this content and make sure the sites cannot be penetrated by hackers.
To solve this problem, we have created a novel solution that combines the independent security researchers’ with our automated virtual patching technology. This way we know about the security vulnerabilities first and can provide the most effective protection against open-source code vulnerabilities. Thus making the web safer for everybody.
