CentOS - Mar 2017 - Does fail2ban protect anything other than SSH logins?

I am looking at fail2ban, and all I see is it protecting remote logins 
to SSH.

Does it protect any other access to systems?  Well perhaps other than 
VNC perhaps?

thank you

It can, but you have to either enable or create the rules. It could potentially
monitor and protect just about anything that can be logged.

Look at /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf.  Mine lists 73 things.
