A: 

It means a well-maintained popular distro which responds and releases patch for security vulnerability asap. It might be free or commercial. You also need to update all the security patches.

A: 

e.G. remove dangerous and unnecessary software, closing network ports, firewall/iptables setup, restricting user access, setting file permissions strictly etc etc
