- Ubuntu protects important parts of the system from security breaches by limiting how they can be accessed without an administrator password.

- Security issues are normally fixed quickly and efficiently, often only a few days after they are reported.

- Linux distributions such as Ubuntu are widely used as web servers because of their heavy-duty security.
