Cake security is pretty good, but everything has holes. For an ultra secure site, I'd be researching known security holes and blunders and testing the site against those cases. It simply isn't enough to rely on someone else's statement of a degree of security.

Some sites don't need high levels of security and they can give a performance hit. Others must be inviolable.

All said, I'm impressed with Cake's inbuilt security and haven't had to modify it yet.
