any ISP worth their fees ought to be taking care of the issues the scanning service provides: updatinga and patching the server, proactively seeking info about new exploits, etc

No matter how hardened the ISP makes his server, the biggest vulnerability is actually the CUSTOMERS that install all of the vulnerable open source software (WordPress) that allows hackers to infiltrate the server.

That's another reason why I use my own dedicated servers so my site isn't at risk because of all the other people that don't know what they're doing sharing the server.

This is also why I recommend using WordPress hosting options instead of hosting it yourself because the WordPress hosts specialize in it and I would assume they know how to properly secure those sites, otherwise they wouldn't be in business long.
