Hi everyone! I'm a Cpanel newb, trying to pick it up. I was told by our hosting provider that setup our servers that Cpanel has a built in firewall. This is important to us as we need to be PCI compliant. I have the full WHM and Cpanel. I know nothing about this "firewall" he is referring to. Is there something that I need to be checking to see if we are attempting to be hacked and do I need to be updating the firewall? Can someone give me a basic overview of what I need to know in this department? Complete newb here, I don't want to get blind sided because I didn't set something up properly or know to be checking something.

  While "iptables" is installed by default on CentOS, there are no firewall management tools offered by cPanel. Instead, you should install a third-party application such as CSF: [url=http://configserver.com/cp/csf.html]ConfigServer Security & Firewall Thank you.
