6Scans Auto-Updating Website Protection Service Is Launching Today, Starting With WordPress

Screen Shot 2012-02-21 at 6.14.56 PMIf you're a big website, you have a range of good options for staying protected from malicious hacks: hardware from enterprise-oriented companies like Cisco or McAfee, your own in-house support, or hosted professional blog services like WordPress VIP (which is what TechCrunch uses). If you're a smaller site out on the open web, you have weaker options -- at least if you want to get auto-updated responses to a wide range of security problems.Israeli startup 6Scan is out to change that, launching a WordPress plugin today that automatically scans and updates to protect against the latest issues coming up across the web. By "automatically," I mean that the company's security team monitors the web and does its own research to find problems, then pushes an update to all of its users. These go out about every hour, according to co-founder and chief executive Nitzan Miron, as they're discovered and added to the company's system.
