We have been using security scripts on our shared servers for the past several years to prevent the defacements and attacks on our customers' websites.

It's a fact that if you have a popular website on the internet, you will eventually encounter them via so called "kiddie scripts" that looks for vulnerabilities.

Due to the enormous staff resource to code new variables almost on a daily basis, we have decided to look for other solutions.

The company has finally decided on the hardware based Tipping Point security solution (division of 3Com). This device will blanket our whole network and their "Digital Vaccine" service is a real time feed that automatically updates the security box with zero day exploits.
