Do you have server root? If you do install and run a kernel based firewall. A popular one is iptables.

You want to create a ruleset that's very strict.
Are you running Apache? If so run mod_geoip which will allow you to htaccess block by country. It's very handy as many countries are just more trouble than they are worth.
Security is multi-layered. There is the 3 S's. Server, Services, and Site. You want a layer of protection at each level.
