    Limit logins or simply password protecting the directory. Password protecting the directory adds an additional layer of security.

    Limit Login Attempts, as Kingfish said, works really well, and it's free.

    WordFence Security is an alternative. It has a high rating.

    WordFence seems great but "overpowered" for me.

    I wrote a guide some time back for installing fail2ban + CSF to lock out too many filed logins.
    That's worked very nicely.
