What is cPGuard and how does it protect my site?

cPGuard is a comprehensive security solution (developed by OpsShiled) that provides a wide range of features for website and server protection. With its advanced detection and protection mechanisms, cPGuard is an indispensable tool for any hosting company or webmaster looking for reliable protection against modern cyber threats.

cPGuard Main Features

Antivirus Scanning
cPGuard offers a powerful antivirus scanner that periodically checks the server files for malware. This scanner uses both signature and heuristic detection to identify and neutralize viruses, trojans, and other threats.
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Web Application Firewall (WAF) is another important component of cPGuard. It protects web applications from attacks such as SQL injections, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and other types of exploits that can compromise the security of websites.
Brute Force Attack Protection
cPGuard includes protection against Brute Force attacks, which are attempts to access the system by trying different passwords and usernames. The system automatically blocks IP addresses that show suspicious behavior, reducing the risk of successful attacks.
Blacklisting and Whitelisting
With the help of the blacklisting and whitelisting features, administrators can control access to the server. This allows blocking known malicious IP addresses and allowing access only from trusted sources.
File System Monitoring
cPGuard constantly monitors the file system for changes that could indicate a security compromise. This feature helps to quickly detect and respond to suspicious activities.
Email Security
Includes email protection by detecting and blocking spam, phishing attacks, and malicious attachments. This is critical for protecting communications and preventing the spread of threats via email.
Notifications and Reports
cPGuard offers advanced notification and reporting features. Administrators can receive instant notifications of detected threats and regular reports on the security status of the server.
Easy Integration and Management
The system is designed to be easily integrated and provides a convenient web management interface. This makes it easy to configure and monitor all aspects of security without the need for in-depth technical knowledge.
