I’ve had a little play with that. As there is also a ‘dead’ capability named Alarm System which matches the known attributes and commands for working with the Smart Home Monitor, I rather assumed Security System might be intended for SmartThings Home Monitor, and my limited experiments certainly suggest it doesn’t really have any broader utility at the moment. I guess perhaps we aren’t really supposed to have noticed it.
There are various, as yet undocumented, security things starting to appear on the radar, like the r:security:locations:*:armstate scope for tokens, and the SECURITY_ARM_STATE subscription type.
Update: In case anyone was wondering …
