I receive numerous Brute Force attacks, is this normal?

Yes, this is normal. Brute Force attacks are the most common type of remote based attack. Brute Force attacks try to exploit weak passwords, and not any server vulnerability. To lessen the amount of Brute Force attempts, we can change your SSH Port to something non-standard (other than 22), that way when hackers scan the standard SSH port on servers, it looks like your SSH port is closed. Nevertheless, as long as your passwords are secure, there is nothing to worry about. If you would like this done, just let us know.
