Getting Started with Configserver’s ModSecurity Control Plugin
ConfigServer ModSecurity Control plugin (CMC), is a tool within WHM that allows you to whitelist specific rules to make sure your site is running smoothly and still protected from malicious attacks. ModSecurity is automatically installed on your server and can be seen in your cPanel account, but in order to configure and control whitelisting rules, you need to download the plugin for WHM.
You can learn how to install the ConfigServer ModSecurity Control plugin in our article Installing Configserver’s ModSecurity Control Plugin on Your Server. See how to whitelist and configure your plugin using the links below.
