WMI access can be secured
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325353/EN-US/

WMI respects existing MS authentication methods.
1. WMI obey Native OS access control
2. WMI obeys DCOM access control
3. WMI obeys access provided to user credentials.

The above KB talks about user credentials, but WMI can also be secured at 
the DCOM level and OS level.

For a decent articel on securing WMI:
