Your cPanel hosting includes cPGuard as standard to protect your account and websites. cPGuard includes the following features:
- A fast malware scanner that monitors file changes. Automatically cleans injections from infected files or CMS core files, preventing the website from going down.
- Powerful ModSecurity Web Application Firewall rules that prevent hackers from exploiting generic vulnerabilities in your website code.
- Brute-force and Bot attack protection. Reduce server load by preventing malicious bots from wasting your server CPU and other resources.
- Real-time Abusive IP blocklist (IPDB) firewall that blocks requests from known abusive IPs before reaching your web server.
You can view reports and perform manual scans directly from your cPanel. Once you've logged into cPanel, scroll down to the security section and click on the cPGuard icon:
