Thanks for the replies. It is good that the Firewall is doing its work but
do I need to make my server more secure and if yes, then how to go about
doing it?

Rajiv,

If the port scans are coming from a particular IP, then you can block an
incoming traffic from that IP. If this is the case and/or you are
interested in automating these tasks, I suggest you look at my previous post
regarding isatools.org.

Scott
