One thing I’ve already done is install CSF (ConfigServer Security & Firewall, available at http://configserver.com), and set LFD (the login failure daemon) to send me emails about detected security issues.

I also have Apache2/ModSecurity2 (with our latest ruleset), however I’m finding that I probably need to make a few other adjustments, such as enabling SuPhp and open_basedir, locking down permissions, and most importantly, keeping up with new versions of software (omg, WordPress 2.6.2 already?!).  These things I hope to accomplish very, very soon.
