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).
