In /etc/ssh/sshd_config replace "port 22" with "port <whatever high port 
(> 1024) you like>"

Then configure your ssh clients accordingly.

I was having my logs filled with *literally* hundreds of connection 
attempts to port 22 every single day. Since I moved ssh to another port 
that stopped.

Also, disable password authentication and use public/private key pairs 
as certification.
