Question

Answer 1

It doesn't make your code more secure, it is more for thread safety than anything else. If a variable is marked final, a value must be assigned to it when the object is created. After object creation, that variable cannot be made to refer to another value.

This behavior allows you to reason about the state of an object and make certain assumptions when multiple threads are accessing it concurrently.
