While many potential security threats both known and unknown can be blocked, many cannot. If your server gets hacked via an exploit in the OS or an application (apache, php, mysql, etc) then it's your hosts fault (Unless you are unmanaged/colo). If one of your sites gets hacked/defaced due to you not keeping your scripts up to date, it's your fault.


Switching hosts isn't going to magically update all your scripts and fix your security problems.
