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
