You've got a few things you can do to help limit it though.
1) Keep your attack surface small. If you don't need 1000 ports open,
don't open those. If something does not need to be accessed on the
internet (but only on your internal network), limit it.
2) Use IDS to help keep trakc of what is going on.
There's of course a lot more, but I think the attack surface and
ids+firewall is the most important.
