# Overview

> SSH access, IP blocking, API tokens, hotlink and leech protection, ModSecurity, SSL/TLS certificates, and Imunify360. Everything cPanel offers to lock down your account.

The Security section in cPanel is where you control who can reach your account and what they can do once they're in. Eight tools cover it.
