It depends on the level of security you want the dog to provide. If you just want the dog to bark a warning, Labs are fine. If you want a dog to pose a threat, Labs are a very poor choice. The training would have to overcome their breeding, and it's never a good idea to do that to a dog.

Labs are naturally friendly and outgoing; bred to retrieve, not guard. Any number of other breeds (such as German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Dobermans) are much better suited for training as a security dog.
