try CSF (ConfigServer Security & Firewall) as the first step

A tool I like using to help find areas that might need securing or improvements in security is Lynis (http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/lynis.html). It is by the creator of Rootkit Hunter and it an excellent analysis tool for doing baseline stuff.

Definetly installing mod_security would be a good idea. Upon doing so, add custom rules where needed. Please refer to this: http://www.gotroot.com/tiki-index.ph...security+rules
GotRoot got a few nice things here and there, its probably worth a look.
