Selected Answer: C

Answer: C – updating and patching regularly Incorrect answers: A) limiting number of connections – if server is unpatched and vulnerable, even 1 well crafted connection can break it. B) WAF – good solution to have but it can’t avoid all kinds of exploits against unpatched server. D) SSL/TLS encryption – protects data in transport but not server itself.
