is there any security mods I can have to make my forum more secure?
Alex.
What do you mean "Security" mods? MyBB is already very secure.
ok, but is there any more I could add to mkae it more secure?
Alex.
No. Make sure you subscribe to the mailing list on the main site. You will get an e-mail every time there is a patch released for MyBB.
I can give you some tips. Change the admin folder name. You can assign the folder name in settings.php I believe and it won't hamper the function of the admincp.

Also make sure you have a host with logs...some cheap hosting doesn't keep logs and if they don't I recommend you install something to track IPs. Do daily backups...if not then at least once per week. If you get hacked you can easily reinstall.

Goodluck.
Actually it's in inc/config.php you change the folder name for admin CP. You can read about how to change it here as well.
