Security for open casement windows?

Is there anything you can do with casement windows to make it so you can leave them cracked or partially open at night without worrying someone is going to pull the window the rest of the way open and come in?

I see there are some attachments you can install in the bottom to limit the amount the window will open. Are those secure at all for this use case, or are they basically just for childproofing from the inside?

I realize nothing is going to be fortress-level great if the window is open. I would just like to be able to let a little night air in at night, while making it more difficult, inconvenient, and noisy enough that I’d wake up if someone was trying to enter. I am anxious about it, enough so that I can’t sleep if I have a window open at all, and I don’t want to be paying for AC all summer when it’s perfectly cool outside some nights.
