Explanation

The best recommendation to make is to setup a network firewall. A network firewall is a device or a software that monitors and controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined rules and policies. A network firewall can protect the email, web, and FTP servers from attacks by blocking or filtering the malicious or unwanted traffic, such as denial-of-service, port scanning, or brute force attacks. A network firewall can also log and audit the network activity and provide alerts and reports on the security incidents.
