In addition to all of these suggestions, you can also use the firewall
to block access from all outside IPs except those used by the admins
and developers.
Still the solution is to get a VPN setup and get the SQL Server box
off the internet. To expensive you say? How much will it cost your
company *when* the hacker gets through? I bet it's more than the cost
of some VPNs.
