There are the usual suspects (e.g., WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, ...).  
Each has their own pros/cons when it comes to security. Trying to  
figure out which one is more security is like the ongoing debate of  
Windows vs. Mac security. There is no right answer.

If you want to focus just on writing and not worry if you site is  
going to get hacked, I'd recommend going with one of their hosted  
services (e.g., WordPress.com). That way you don't have to worry about  
security updates. Updates can be a huge pain ... because you are  
always thinking "is updating to the next version going to hose my  
site". With a hosted solution you don't have to worry about any of  
that. If something happens they fix it ... and you can continue on  
focusing on writing and not being a website admin. But if being a  
website admin is your thing, go for it.

Have fun.
