I've made lots of posts about security. There are 3 basic levels. Server, Services, and Site. The 3 S's. 
At server level you're required to have a VPS or dedicated. You'll need to run a kernel based firewall.
At services level there are mods for apache like mod_security and suhosin. I also like mod_geoip. This will allow you to block by country very easily.
Then there is site level. You can begin with htaccess. Also make damn sure your site software is updated and that you don't use anything that could create a security hole.
Security is multidimensional. For some it's DDOS prevention. For others it's injections and intrusion. Do you have a focus?
