I have some experience of this, but am no expert. How easy it is depends
somewhat on the customization, but normally it's just a matter of backing
up the install and mysql and hitting upgrade within the admin panel.
Otherwise one has to ftp it in. Personally I like to use a back up plugin
to back up the mysql weekly. I haven't experienced security problems on my
wordpress installs for some time (touch wood), seems pretty robust.
