You might also consider changing the port for SSH if you are going to open it up to the wider world. 22 gets so much traffic from attempts to connect to a host that I never run SSH on the standard port. I got tired of parsing through logs with login failures for root, jsmith, ajohnson, etc.
and sorting out the noise from the issues was a pain.

It should be in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, change the Port line and then reload sshd

Your clients then have to specify the new port number when connecting, but that's not too big of a deal.
