You could make it a separate partition, and mount it noexec; /home
should also be noexec, nodev, nosuid. You should also mount /usr ro.
That said, you need a balance. You want a secured box or an usable

Just don't run VNC or any other service if don't need it. And if you
do, please, secure it and monitor it.
