36,000 Agents* Per Second: Why Your Current Hosting Can't Stop Them

Dumitru Butucel

The game has changed. It's no longer a hacker in a hoodie trying to guess your password.

It's a swarm.

Recent cybersecurity reports indicate a terrifying surge in automated attacks. AI-driven botnets are now scanning the internet at a rate of 36,000 scans per second.

These aren't people. They are "Agents*"—autonomous software programs designed to find one thing: a way in.

The Commodity Trap

Most small business owners are trapped in what we call the "Commodity Hosting Illusion."

You pay $10/month for hosting. You see a green padlock in your browser. You think you're safe.

Here is the reality: Cheap hosting relies on passive firewalls. They block known bad IP addresses. But AI bots generate new IPs instantly. They mimic human behavior. They bypass passive defenses like water flowing around a rock.

The Math of Defense

Let's look at the numbers. If an AI bot finds a vulnerability in your site (like an outdated plugin), it executes an attack in milliseconds.

  • Cost of a Hacked Site: $4,000+ (Forensics, cleanup, lost revenue, reputation damage).
  • Cost of ProWebCare Defense: From $119/month.

Investing in active defense is 20x cheaper than paying the ransom or cleaning up the mess.

Active Defense: The Human Advantage

You can't fight a swarm with a manual shield. You need an automated defense grid overseen by human experts.

At ProWebCare, we use a hybrid approach:

  • AI Weapons: We use advanced tools to detect threats in real-time.
  • Human Trigger: A real Operator* verifies the threat and neutralizes it. No false positives. No bots talking to bots.

This is the "Human in the Loop" strategy. It's the only way to beat AI without becoming a victim of it.

The AI storm is here. Your current host isn't building a shelter. We are.

The Verdict

You can fight this battle alone, or you can hire the operators*. Don't leave your business defenseless.
