One could use epoxy resin to fully protect the electronic circuit. This is very common in the electronics industry.

To simply protect the printed circuit board against moisture, try conformal coatings such as the Loctite Shadowcure.

If it is not possible to fill the complete assembly with a resin, some electronic parts such as capacitor can be protect agaist vibration using silicone.
