  1. Enable IIS option "loadUserProfile:true" for dedicated application pools

    In Windows Server IIS, it is recommended to set loadUserProfile:true for dedicated application pools. Doing so guarantees better application isolation and security for web applications created with ASP.NET, .NET Core or PHP.

    You can find some basic information about this setting in this Stack Overflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17149834/1297898.
    Official Microsoft documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/ensure-security-isolation-for-web-sites

    I will be pleased to provide any additional information you may require.

  3. Implement a support module for Duo Security 2FA

    Plesk has support for Google Authenticator and Clef, could an Extension/Module be written to support the authentication through Duo Security?

  4. Enable OCSP stapling and HSTS for Plesk panel

    OSCP stapling and HSTS can now be enabled for domains using SSL It! estension.
    However these settings cannot be enabled while securing Plesk panel.
    So it will be really appreciated if such functionality is included in future Plesk updates.

  5. Implement Dropbox's (zxcvbn) password strength library

    Please consider implementing Dropbox's password strength library in future versions of plesk. https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn

    Right now (Plesk Onyx Version 17.8.11) very secure passwords such as applaud-bisque-batch-forefoot won't even pass the "medium" filter, and very bad passwords such as Pa$$word123 are marked "Strong".

    Brute force cracking continues to get more sophisticated and the current strength ratings are misleading.

  6. Implement OSSEC

    Implement as an add-on, or possibly through an Extension, the ability to install and configure OSSEC. An Extension GUI which provides simple, limited functionality to configure the most frequently used features of OSSEC would be an awesome addition to Plesk.

  8. Port Scan protection, PortSentry / PSAD

    Plesk has fail2ban but seems to have no port scan protection, Something like PSAD or Portsentry would be good to be included to allow blocking and reporting on portscans making plesk more secure for everyone.

  10. Secure default HTTPS settings

    Set the default settings so that websites (e.g. Wordpress) created in Plesk have a good score in online scanners (are secure).

    One very good scanner is https://observatory.mozilla.org/

    This includes some headers to be sent, and secure TLS settings.
    Mozilla also offers a guide concerning web server settings: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS

    The remaining things should be set in Wordpress directly directly by Plesk.

  11. More customizable password strength

    Please consider implementing more options for customization of password strength - for example disalbing it, setting allowed password to have lower than 5 symbols or the opposite - increase number of symbols required for a password.

  12. Add Nginx Jails to Fail2Ban

    Plesk has - praise be - increasingly better supported Nginx, now with the option to use only Nginx, which is great.

    That being so, now we need the next logical step: The Fail2Ban Jails for Apache are available, but will have no effect, as Apache is not used at all any more. So we need some Jails for Nginx.

    This is not exactly rocket science, there are plenty of examples to be found on the web, the Fail2Ban distribution has some, and here's an article on digitalocean:
    https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-an-nginx-server-with-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-14-04

    Search for: fail2ban nginx 404
    E.g. https://nichteinschalten.de/apache-nginx-404-fail2ban-regex/
    Note The 404 code is…

  14. Add ipset in Firewall to increase performance

    Please extend the Firewall / Concept to make the use of ipset, because it is generally the fastest solution i found so far. Chains like "f2b-recidive" can also be implemented as ipset list. This will speed up the whole process while adding or removing ips. I dont know if there is a cidr support in ipset...

    For example, remove the following chain:

    f2b-plesk-postfix tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 multiport dports 25,465,587

    And extend the firewall with a native DROP on the ports as described below:

    DROP tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 multiport dports 25,465,587 match-set f2b-plesk-postfix src

    And then (or before?) just…

  17. ProFTPd GeoIP blocking

    Compile proftpd with "GeoIP"
    http://www.proftpd.org/docs/contrib/mod_geoip.html

    This would allow to block or whitelist countries - even on a per user basis.
    We did research on this and most of the foreign FTP attempts are malicious.

  19. Disable old TLS protocols in Plesk for Windows

    In Plesk for Linux, Plesk provides a functionality to select the SSL protocols available by running:

    plesk bin server_pref -u -ssl-protocols "TLSv1.2"

    Or meet with PCI compliance with the utility:

    plesk sbin pcicomplianceresolver

    Plesk for Windows doesn't provide such functionality, moreover, Plesk doesn't recommend to disable these protocols: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000360813

    It'd be really helpful and safe that Plesk will provide officially the support of the same functionality for Windows, especially for companies that are requiring high-security standards.

  20. block bad bots by default

    There are many bots that can actually DoS a server using Plesk. Since there's no way to limit their connections they can overload a server really easily. Currently the only way to block them is by reading the logs and implementing blocks in nginx or .htaccess rules.

    It would be great if there could be some security by default. The community has created very comprehensive lists that could be used and auto updated / maintained by cron jobs.

    Here's an example for Apache

    https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/tree/master/Apache_2.4

    And here's for Nginx

    https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker

    It could help mitigate attacks and vulnerability scans as well a…
