Wordpress have security built in?

[Mack]

Okay, so I was wondering if Wordpress has any measures in place to combat viruses and hackers? I know you could install plugins and essentially protect your site in that way, but I was wondering if Wordpress does that on its own somehow? And if not, shouldn't they add that as a feature instead of an app?

Please do correct me if I sound dumb on this. I'm just thinking out loud.
