			CWP Secure Kernel
			
Protection that starts in the kernel, not in a plugin.

			
Every PHP site is locked into its own sandbox. A hacked WordPress can’t read other accounts, open the panel ports or run a crypto miner.

			
    
				
  • Per-site PHP isolation, enforced by the kernel
    • 
				
  • Panel and system ports blocked for website code
    • 
				
  • Rule updates shipped with CWP
