I’m leaning towards configuring a firewall, but I’m not confident if that’s the only thing we need to consider for web server security.

I feel like we had a practice question about updates and patches being crucial for security. Maybe option D is the right choice?

I think strong passwords are important, but they might not be enough on their own to stop attacks.

I remember we discussed firewalls in class, but I'm not entirely sure if they're the best option for web servers specifically.

I think the edge node is responsible for deciding client access, since it's the component that connects the client to the network.
