This article will provide a learning path for newbies to host security.

1.Get familiar with the basics of CWPP

2.Billing mode of CWPP

The billing modes of Tencent Cloud host security are divided into Prepaid (monthly subscription) and Postpaid (pay-as-you-go). Fully understanding the billing modes of CWPP is conducive to your choice of the optimal billing plan. For billing details, see Purchase Guide.
Note:
Due to billing adjustment, CWPP Professional Edition (pay-as-you-go) will be decommissioned starting from November 30, 2023. Subsequently, newly purchased Professional Edition in pay-as-you-go mode will no longer be supported. Existing pay-as-you-go orders of the Professional Edition can still be used and scaled up normally.

3.Getting Started

3.1 Install CWP Client

The CWP client is a security plugin provided by Tencent Cloud. The server must install this client before using the CWPP service (basic edition protection will be available after installation). The CWP client can be installed on hybrid CVMs. For details, see Hybrid Cloud Installation Guide.
Description
Tencent Cloud Lighthouse (Lighthouse) automatically installs the CWP client by default.
When purchasing a CVM, ECM, or Blackstone physical server 1.0 (CPM), check "security reinforcement" to automatically install the CWP client.

3.2 Purchase CWP Protection Version

Host security provides the following three versions of protection authorization for selection. For the features of each version, please see Feature Introduction and Edition Comparison.
