As a starting point could you disable the WSDL publication? With that in place only clients that already have generated a proxy will be able to discover and use the web service. Of course the service would still be public and anyone who knows how to properly format a SOAP request would be able to call it. A second step would consist in introducing security (private keys, HTTPS, client certificates, etc...) so that only trusted clients could consume the service.
