Security is a relatively easy problem.  You only allow services that need 
to be allowed, and if it's a common service that might be attacked, you 
harden against it - using chroot jails, different ports, or tools that 
look for failed attempts and block an IP address if too many attempts are 
failed.

At least, it's pretty easy on a *nix platform.  ;)
