PK0-005 Practice Question: Basics of IT Infrastructure and IT Project Management
A company is deploying a new web server. Which TWO security measures should the project manager include in the project plan? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse high-availability or infrastructure components (UPS, load balancer, RAID) with security measures, but the question specifically asks for security measures, not availability or performance features.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Firewall rules
Firewall rules are essential for controlling inbound and outbound traffic to the web server, protecting it from unauthorized access and attacks. A TLS certificate enables HTTPS encryption, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity between clients and the server. Both are critical security measures that should be included in the project plan for a new web server deployment.
