It is essential to configure it after a new installation, for any decent security, of course, along with the other security configuration basics, such as installing all security updates. If one neglects those things, good security tools in linux are worthless, and you WILL get hacked (but maybe not quite so quickly as with a certain dominant vendor's junk software).
