Chosen Answer:

Hello,

You ultimately need form validation at the very least. Any form or location where users can enter data should be validated. A captcha code to verify that they are human is a great example.

    Using a good firewall.. (the good old iptables firewall infact is really good ) .

    May be try to have a DMZ (De militarized zone ) set up.

    Use SeLinux .

    Have an IPS/IDS (Intrusion detection/prevention system )

    Keep minimalistic ports open.
