Look at previous hacks.
Un-patched packages and services, bad passwords, unexpected privileges.
Only allow in the service port to minimize your attack surface.
Automatic security updates.
WAF if you can. Cloudflare has a free tier with WAF.
Maybe deploy a SIEM so you can alert on unexpected behavior.
