Aaron,
NAT by itself is not a security measure at all. It is just a
mechanism for translating IP addresses, but doesn't to anything for
security.
The security aspect, which comes in to play with firewalls, has to do
with intelligent handling of packets, accepting and denying packets
based on certain criteria, such as session state, direction, source
and destination address and port, authorization and authentication.
Regards,
Frank
