In my opinion, security should often be assumed. It's only longed for when
you realise what happens in the lack of security, i.e. prevalence of
loopoles. To elaborate, lack security is where function is given which can
be exploited by the wrong people. Even buffer overflows are a matter of
handling edge cases properly.
Just my opinion,
