Many cPanel instances remain vulnerable to known exploits due to misconfigurations and unpatched systems. Manual hardening is time-consuming across multiple servers.

Create an automated scanner that checks for common vulnerabilities, applies security best practices, and monitors for suspicious activity post-deployment.

Sell to hosting providers and IT teams managing multiple cPanel instances.

Start with basic vulnerability scanning before adding automated remediation.

Risk is that cPanel might incorporate similar features in future updates.
