Asking here as centos forums, don't like general Linux q's.

You might want to only allow logins with a key pair - this prevents
anyone from cracking the password. Use a good pass phrase on the
private key. Then add a rate limiter to ssh connections attempts -
fail-to-ban or a firewall rule, just to cut down on all the junk in
the logs.
