Alias queues are used for a number of reasons:
(1) allowing applications to use a different name to access a queue (for isolation or scability purposes)
(2) changing the default "priority" or "persistence" with which messages are put onto queues
(3) on zOS, give "read only" or "write only" access by:
(4) changing the get / put disabled flags on a queue..

We use them for all queues, to refer to either a local or remote base queue.
We can easily change the alias base queue name between local or remote, or to combine messages into fewer queues etc.
It's just a level of indirection which allows more flexibility.
However it's more important to ensure applications never hard-code queue names and to follow a naming standard for queues (eg we always user UPPER case queue names.) |

I guess security goes under point 1 ?
You can setup security profiles that follow some generic queue naming conventions. If you need access to a queue outside of that naming convention an alias conforming to it will give you access....
