Better performance / throttling Apache

Im building a RPMpackage which has to protect Apache hosted websites

I want to protect the CPU and Apache when someone is scanning the website. I want the visitor to get a 403 before it hits the virtualhosts even if the file/directory exists or not.

Currently i have this setup:

<DirectoryMatch "^/.*/.git/">Deny from all</Directorymatch>

<Files ~ "^.git">Order allow,denyDeny from all</Files>

This protects existing files directories and scripts. Bit i would like for Apache to throw the 403 error even when the files dont exist in order to protect apache/php/mysql

Is this possible?

I tried directory / directorymatch and the files directives in apache

they only protect the website when the files or directories do exist on the server
