Its probly less secure then you think, or as the vendor thinks :)

This looks like a case of a less distributed OS that dosent have much known
vulnerabilities but alot to discover. My advice is to inspect this closely
and possibly submit the system to some automated standard buffer overflow
checking program.

I am also interested in knowing what kind of can function in a network with
no open ports. Maybe the nmap was flawed? Maybe it works only in UDP? Maybe
its vulnerable to network sniffing/highjacking? Does it rely on obscurity of
a closed source network code to be secure, or is it really?

Those are all questions that i would have answered before i buy any new
system.

Have fun,
