Also, harden the hosting environment ASAP! It does not look good when some script-kiddie takes over your site because a plugin was out of date. If your server is on the public Internet, you should assume someone is trying to take it down.

Cloudfire or another Web Application Firewall can help out a ton here by defending you from a lot of common threats and adding a layer of indirection between users and your site.
