Moderator Note: I've relocated this forums thread into the cPanel and WHM Security area so the topic can receive more relevant discussion applicable to the questions involved.
Regarding GD; as with any additional software, if there is a vulnerability in the extra software then that may incur more risk for the system it's installed on.
Regarding security suggestions, I recommend reviewing the following documentation resource to help learn about the available security features and functions in cPanel/WHM:
WhmSecurity < AllDocumentation/WHMDocs < TWiki
Here are two additional, related areas of documentation that include details about general settings and configurations that can be tweaked, some of which have security implications:
TweakSettings < AllDocumentation/WHMDocs < TWiki
ServiceConfig < AllDocumentation/WHMDocs < TWiki
