It's kind of like saying "How do I protect myself from being robbed?" There is no
guaranteed way of fully protecting yourself. You have to determine how much
protection you feel that you need, based on the damage that could be done, and the
cost of the protection.
A hardware firewall would likely be able to protect or alert you to a lot of attacks.
A "free" option is to make sure you are always up to date with the latest updates, but
this is costly as it is time consuming, and there aren't updates or patches for some
things (such as bandwidth-based attacks).
You could read a book about DoS attacks, and still not know nearly as much as you
might want.
