That depends entirely on how paranoid the security is. I know companies who severely limit their Windows installs, if you want to achieve the same with Linux, you would need to use something like the kiosk framework in KDE and the equivalent (if there is one) in Gnome. So there the DE would make a difference.

"...the basics in general security and explain how to apply it to two Linux distributions - Ubuntu and Kubuntu."
Clever marketing doesn't make them two distros.
It's all *Buntu.
The desktop environment is irrelevant to security - I hope.
