+Every component of Apache Geode is built with security considerations as a top 
priority. However, certain security
+solutions require user-specific design and implementation. Geode's default 
configuration combines maximum flexibility
+and performance without any input needed from the user. Because of this, 
certain security measures like 
+**[authentication](authentication_overview.html)**, 
+**[authorization](authorization_overview.html)** and 
+**[over-the-wire encryption](ssl_overview.html)** 
+are absent from a default Geode installation. 
+It is highly recommended that users review Geode's security capabilities and 
implement them as they see fit. See the 
+**[Security Implementation Introduction and 
Overview](implementing_security.html)**
+to get started with Apache Geode security.
