This really isn't a safe assumption, so all of the subsequent questions are kind of irrelevant. Yes, it is possible to configure a z/OS system so that it is extremely difficult to break into, but when you present a harder target, the universe just coughs up a better class of hacker in return. Sort of a yin and yang thing I guess. Anyway, I recommend taking the time to read this wiki post on Stuxnet and then play a few "what if?" scenarios in your head. Very sobering.
