What you can try doing is putting some services on a non standered port (like SSH on port 4583) This will stop most (not all) attacks coming in at port 22.

Thank you, got it.
In the meantime I revised my existing iptables rules to throttle connections to ssh, pop3, imap and ftp (which service is not running in any case).
Thanks for all the help from everybody.
