It depends. Do you have anything set to listen on outside interfaces?
Watch that one; some daemons come set up by default to listen on all
interfaces.
For infomation only (don't just blindly follow the instructions) read
the harden-doc document.
Then install shorewall-doc and read that. Then setup your firewall with
shorewall.
Its not a simple drop in security. Its more a global issue.
