Need to ban IP address for port scanning or multiple failed ftp/rdp logon attempts

So I've been on the phone and web all day now trying to find a piece of hardware or software to do this. I need something that will recognize a port scan and block that IP, and also recognize repeated ftp/rdp logon attemps and block those. I'm looking for something under 1k, so far the only things I've found are a 5k cisco box and a 9k juniper box. If anyone has a suggestion I'm open to just about anything.
 
Why not just keep all ports blocked that aren't being used?

Is it always coming from the same IP?? If so, just deny that IP in your ACL.

It would help if you gave more information -- How is the network set up? Is this some home network with a SOHO router, or a corporate, or what?
 
move the router remote management port to a higher nonstandard port, and protect it with a strong password.
Only open ports when you need to use them.
 
This is what is known as Internet background noise.

Some more details would be helpful.

In otherwords, what are you really trying to do here and what is the network evironment.
