Thank you for your input! We will consider functionality to implement ability to set TLS as required for email connections in upcoming releases if it will be popular.
Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.
Please note that STARTSSL is a service of StartCom and there are issues with them to stay in CA role http://www.pcworld.com/article/3129725/certificate-policy-violations-force-reform-at-startcom-and-wosign.html so STARTSSL support will not be implemented in Plesk.

Support of SELinux
Attacks to web servers are in increasing. All modern Linux distribution come with SELinux. SELinux is a perfect way to avoid an attacker to get privileged access to the OS. Currently, Plesk is not supporting SELinux.
Support should be added. A policy should be provided to configure SELinux to support all PLESK relevant actions on the server.11 votes -
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.

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

And here's for Nginx

Prevent users to be able to remove files from file manager
Add the possibility to prevent/block any file or directory removal from within the File Manager in Plesk by the subscription/domain users.
An example that could be applied is the same as it can be applied already for ProFTP config files as follows:
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/*/.cagefs>
<Limit ALL>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory><Directory /var/www/vhosts/*/.cl.selector>
<Limit ALL>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory><Directory /var/www/vhosts/*/error_docs>
<Limit DELE>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory><Directory /var/www/vhosts/*/httpdocs>
<Limit RMD>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory><Directory /var/www/vhosts/*/httpdocs/*>
<Limit RMD>
AllowAll
</Limit>

More advanced anti-ddos interface and settings
This (https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000784914-What-DDoS-protection-tools-are-available-in-Plesk) recently updated article shows that we still need paid extensions to better protect our servers against ddos attacks.
It would be great if Plesk would create a more advanced anti-ddos monitoring tool with a useful interface, alerts, and the right amount of settings to better protect our servers from ddos attacks without the need to install a third party extension with additional costs. Preferably created with "good defaults" in mind.

Separate mozilla tls cipher settings for web and mail
Please separate the mozilla tls cipher settings for web and mail.
Sometimes the old ciphers has to set only for mail and not for web.

2FA/TOTP for additional admin accounts.
Plesk supports Authenticators for the primary admin account.
However, additional admin accounts can still log in without 2FA.
This feature would be great to abide to basic security guidelines as it still involves important client data.

Add "mail.example.com" (mail subdomain) in Subject Alternative Names when option "Assign the certificate to mail domain" is selected
Currently almost all mail clients (I used) need the server address to be in the Subject Alternative Names on the certificate, meaning if the configured address is "mail.example.com" instead of "example.com", that first subdomain is not present in the certificate, even when the option "Assign the certificate to mail domain" is selected when issuing the certificate.

Created Scheduled Tasks (Cron jobs) via Plesk GUI should be registered in the action log
At the moment the created Scheduled Tasks (Cron jobs) via Plesk GUI are not registered in the action log.
Also, according to /var/log/messages and /var/log/cron it is not clear what task was created, the name of the task and it is also difficult to understand was the cron task created or not.

OWASP security recommendation hide php version from web server by default
I've noticed that in a default plesk installation the web server is configured to disclose php version. This could be exploited especially with a lot of websites running insecure php versions still.
I think it's not much trouble to implement this simple "security through obscurity" step to not disclose this information and help attackers detect vulnerabilities in PHP itself.
