We used the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security to create a couple of simple rules to block unwanted traffic coming into our server. These rules are put into place immediately and are very easy to generate. What is even greater is that our WFAS rules can be created centrally by making use of Group Policy so that you don't even have to touch the individual servers to apply connection rules to them. WFAS is very different than the Windows Firewall of 10 years ago, and if you are not making use of it today I seriously recommend that you reconsider.
