Comment:

 This issue is related to the hosting environment. You should contact your
 hosting provider to see how could improve from their end to stop brute-
 force attacks.

 WordPress doesn't serve SSH ports. All WAF plugins like Wordfence, and
 Ninjafirewall protect only port 80 (HTTP) 443 (HTTPS).
