The cPanel Security Panel provides tools to manage and install SSL certificates, block IP addresses, setup SSH access, and more.
The Advanced Panel contains the following features:
SSH Access
The SSH Access feature details information about how to connect to your web server using the SSH (secure shell) network protocol. To log in via SSH you will need a public and private SSH Key, which are used during the login process.

Manage API Tokens
- This feature lets you create and manage API tokens for cPanel API 2 and UAPI.
