There's a story of a VAX at DEFCON that was

and stood well. VMS has good security out of the box, always did.
It can be made very tight without much effort and it's also so different
from PCs (Hardend OS and protection in hardware) so security by obscurity
doesn't hurt.
Though repeatedly mistaken by the hordes for a VAX, it was in fact an Alpha.
