Now, do some basic reading and provide us the relevant information so we
can give you a more infrmed answer.

First and foremost: what are the threats? In what envirnment (LAN/WAN)
does it run? How much control do you have over the network? 

What do you actually need it to do? What extra services must be run on
the same box besides Asterisk?

What Linux(?) distribution do you use? (read its relevant documentation
as well).
