I've stored my several softeners on their side in my RV basements over 20 years. First thing I do before storing my softener as we're leaving a campground is turn it upside down to allow all the water to drain out and reduce weight during storage. No resin has ever come out then or during storage.
In use, of course, it's vertical, and no, I've never tried to secure it. If someone wants something badly enough, they'll figure out how to get it. I think that actually, many people don't even know what it is.
