By removing the start link of the runlevel it is started. Other mentioned
the systemctl command already. If you don't need ssh yourself you're all
set.

Otherwise you could try to harden the system. Best way is probably
allowing logins only via keys and deactivate password auth (nobody can
log in then, not even you with the correct password).

If you want to keep password authorization you can forbid direct root
logins (you log in as user and become root on the system then if
needed).

And allow only the user(s) to log in you want. If your user is called
"bill" for example, open the /etc/ssh/sshd_config and locate or add the
line

AllowUsers

and add "bill" so it looks like

AllowUsers bill

You may add more users, separated by blanks. You need to restart the ssh
server after these changes.

Now only bill can log in, no one else. Not even with the correct
password.

Then there are iptable rules somewhere which limit access to the system
in a certain time interval.

You cold also change the ssh port to something else than 22.
