Question Digital Oceans + CentOS + Plesk, what else to implement?

[VPSNewb]

Hello Plesk Users,

I want to learn and engage in VPS servers and I was wondering since PLESK installs fail2ban, modsecurity and has auto updates.
Do I need manually need to do anything for my CentOS server in terms of server security? Or does Plesk do all the updates and security?

Also do plesk updates cause wordpress sites to break/not function? Is it better to wait and then update?

Thank you so much

Plesk itself takes care of all the necessary updates. Also, in Plesk settings, you can independently choose the automatic or manual installation of updates. All updates will be installed correctly and safely if you don't do any customisations like third-party repositories, mirrors, and so on.
