Imagine your house is built using pre-made parts from different stores, but some of those parts have hidden flaws that burglars know how to exploit. This system acts like a smart security guard that finds those flaws before the burglars do. It then instantly puts a digital 'shield' over the weak spot so you don't have to wait for the manufacturer to fix the part.
Websites built with open-source plugins are easy to create but hard to secure because code comes from many different sources. This makes it difficult for companies to find and fix security holes before hackers exploit them.
A virtual patching engine and a vulnerability intelligence platform. It includes a code repository for WordPress, WooCommerce, Drupal, and Joomla, plus connectors for software analysis.
If you are an online retailer dealing with the risk of data breaches in your store plugins — this project developed a virtual patching engine that provides vulnerability-specific protection rules. This allows you to secure your shop against 4566 new unique vulnerabilities reported in 2024 alone.
If you are a media outlet dealing with the complexity of checking third-party code across a massive WordPress site — this project developed a software composition and vulnerability analysis tool. It automatically identifies security gaps and deploys mitigation rules to keep the site online.
If you are a corporate IT team dealing with the slow process of manual security updates for Drupal or Joomla — this project developed a semi-automated process using crowdsourced intelligence. This significantly speeds up the mitigation effort by using pre-made templates for protection.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not mentioned.
Yes, the system is designed for everything from small blogs to Fortune 500 companies and has already processed 4566 unique vulnerabilities in 2024.
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing terms are not provided, though the coordinator is an SME (Patchstack OU).
The project created connectors that link applications to the Patchstack App to retrieve software information for analysis.
The new virtual patching engine generates protection rules significantly faster by using simplified syntax and pre-made templates.
The project is led by a single entity, Patchstack OU, an Estonian SME. With a 100% industry ratio and no university or research partners, the project is purely commercially driven, focusing on rapid deployment and market application of security tools.
