Losing Channel op status is a common IRC problem not related to any specific IRCd. There are a few ways to ensure you maintain channel ops in your channel. The main ways are to if possible register the channel with ChanServ or an equivelent on the network, use a bot (not reccomended as they can sometimes be taken over) or get a group of friends together so there can be at least one of them in the channel at all times.
The best option if it is available is registering the channel with ChanServ or eqivilent.
There are other problems relating to channelops like this. For example if you were to op someone on a channel that you didn't know or trust and they were then to deop everyone else in the channel. All they would need to do then is run a properly configured bot and the channel would be theirs.

eddie,
What kind of security are you refering to? If you're talking about maintaining channel op status just make sure your nick is registered and you identify before you join the room. You can also type /chanserv set #channel secureops on (that will keep people who are on chanserv's access list for that room from getting ops). For more help I recommend checking the anope website and forums located at http://www.anope.org
