Automatic Protection
Automated vulnerability patching and malware removal.

Patchman detects these vulnerabilities and is able to safely patch them without assistance from your customer. Because of our unique approach, you can also be rest assured that websites will continue to function properly.
On compromised hosting accounts, Patchman detects uploaded malware and automatically quarantines it for you.
Customer Coaching
We believe that educating your customers is an important aspect to security.
Patchman makes it easy to set up automatic workflows to inform your customers of security incidents. For example, you could setup the following workflow:
- On detection of a vulnerability, warn customer and educate how to resolve the issue.
- After 2 days, if still unresolved, remind customer.
- After 3 days, if still unresolved, automatically patch vulnerability and inform customer.

Patchman was built with hosting providers specifically in mind.
It literally takes 60 seconds to start scanning for vulnerabilities and malware. Here's a few more examples of how we will make your life a lot easier:
- Automatically integrates with cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin.
- RPM and DEB packages for easy and standardized maintenance.
- Scanning process optimized to be incredibly fast, light weight and distributed in larger environments.
- Easy configuration and maintenance through web application.
"With website security being one of the biggest problems in the web hosting industry, it is also one that is the most difficult
to deal with proactively without being intrusive or risking breaking customer applications. Hacked websites are a
problem for everyone - they use excessive resources and facilitate SPAM and phishing.
Patchman bridges the gap between efficiently running a server and keeping our clients secure, with little overhead
and no disruption. Since deploying Patchman in January 2017, they have already patched over 250,000 applications on
our servers."


— Vanessa Vasile, Lead Systems Architect - InMotion Hosting (USA)
"Being able to pro-actively mitigate abuse on our shared servers saves us time and money, as well as helping to keep the internet cleaner. Patchman fixed a problem that was causing us headaches."


— Michele Neylon, CEO, Blacknight Internet Solutions (Ireland)
Security Should be Stupid Simple
You and your customers have access to a super easy to use web application. For you, it's a piece of cake to set up, configure, monitor and maintain deployments from one to thousands of servers. Your customers get a private panel to review unresolved issues and fix them.
REALITY CHECK
The Facts You Should Not Ignore
The following statistics and claims are based on third-party research and case studies with customers of Patchman.
Security Breaches Cost You Dearly
On a monthly basis, 1 to 5 percent of your websites are compromised. Hackers generally want to take advantage of your server's resources for spam runs, DDoS attacks, etc. However, it also exposes you to much more severe risks: root exploits, data loss, data theft, or worse. Each security breach costs you at least one to several hours in labour to resolve.
One in Two Websites is Vulnerable
According to W3Techs, approximately 34% of the web runs on WordPress, Joomla or Drupal. For average web hosting companies this number is actually much higher: 57%. Approximately 80% of these websites run an outdated version of their CMS. This leaves 46% of your websites exploitable through significant security vulnerabilities.
One in Three Customers Churns
According to research by StopBadware and Commtouch, 28% of webmaster of whose website was compromised considers moving to a new provider. Webmasters blame the provider for the compromise, are unhappy with the (lack of) support they receive, are not able to resolve the issue themselves or are simply fed up with it and quit.
Don't Take Our Word For It. Hear What Our Customers Say.
"One of the most time consuming problems we have had is dealing with old, vulnerable CMS and the fallout of customers sites being hacked. With Patchman this is a thing of the past, and long may it remain so."


— Andy Manning, Brand Director, UK2 Group (United Kingdom)

About Patchman, Powered by SiteLock
Patchman was built to scratch our own itch.
Patchman was created in 2014 to simplify security for hosting providers. We recognized that abuse is a huge time drain in hosting companies. It is often a challenge for customers to keep their CMS up to date, and the resulting security vulnerabilities are being exploited at a rapidly growing pace to abuse servers' resources for spam runs, DDoS attacks and more. So, we designed a solution to proactively patch CMS vulnerabilities automatically and remove malicious scripts from the system, all while cutting costs and increasing customer happiness.
Combined with the rest of the portfolio, SiteLock covers the spectrum on security protection providing a wide range of solutions for consumers, small businesses and large-scale businesses. SiteLock was originally founded in 2008 with a passion to make cybersecurity and website security services affordable and accessible to small businesses, a previously underserved market. We continually work to expand our offerings as we continue to ensure every business is protected from cybercrime.
