Hello,
Plesk isn't easier to hack than any other linux server. It provide you several security services directly available in the Plesk web interface like a firewall or fail2ban. Then it will be your job to make sure you have setup all security settings like disallowing root ssh access with password, and to use strong passwords on all other services.

Hello,
thank you for your answer, I was told to block ports tcp and udp on the vps to avoid going through there.
