This is a complex question that really depends on the environment you
use Kolab for. For small sized system I'd consider the security of the
server good enough. Some parts can be modified over the webadmin
frontend. You should turn off IMAP services that you do not need for
example.

If you have systems with several hundred users you should probably
take care to secure the server to a higher degree. You could for
example split the services of the server like a dedicated LDAP server
or a seperate spam box. 

Cheers,

Gunnar
