cron-apt is also a viable option for debians.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/ is afaik the best standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom about current linux, always solved my debian-*codename* problems.

Be sure to stay up-to-date using apt-get, and consider using cron-apt to automatically update: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-uptodate.en.html
Maybe it also worth covering unattended-upgrades package to keep Debian up to date. It requires to run "dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades" after install as it doesn't enable automatic upgrades right away after install and supposedly don't do potentially dangerous operations like kernel upgrades automatically. Using it in production myself, really helps to keep OS up to date.
Also for protecting SSH SSHGuard is in my opinion a much better choice as it supports IPv6 unlike fail2ban (I heard there were patches for fail2ban to address that but I'm not sure if they are already in mainstream and available in all distributions).
