ModSecurity is a web application firewall engine that applies configured security rules to web requests. When the cPanel interface is enabled, you can control whether ModSecurity is active for hosted domains.

cPanel strongly recommends leaving ModSecurity enabled for all domains and disabling it only while troubleshooting a problem that is actually related to a ModSecurity rule.

The specific rules and behavior depend on the server's configured ModSecurity rule set.
