best approach to locking down a redhat box?

I am about to lease a machine from servermatrix. I have some linux skills, but don't consider myself to be an experienced admin.

Will their default installation have reasonable security or will I have to harden the box myself? I'm not really sure if it's common practice to lease a machine like this and expect it to be secure without any tweaking.

Any advice appreciated..
