Security questions when logging into cPanel or WHM – Extra security net

If you own an web server with cPanel and WHM, and you would like to additional strengthen the security so as to mitigate unauthorised access to accounts (or, additional significantly, the root account via WHM), you’ll add a safety net by enabling “Security Questions”.

Simply log in to WHM, and search for “Security Questions” (or go to Security Center -> Security Questions wherever you’re ready to modify this security provision).

Bear in mind this can also have an effect on each cPanel account on the server, thus if you’ve any customers with a cPanel account, the next time they login to their cPanel account they’re going to need to add security questions .

While there are even additional demanding security provisions you’ll implement, as an example by disallowing access to the SSH service or the MySQL service to anything other from verified IPs (via the Host Access Control section of WHM), this in itself could be a smart security implementation irregardless.
