Are there any suggested apps that I should install to protect my iPhone?

I have an iPhone 8+. I'm going overseas and want to add as much protection to it in case it gets stolen or someone wants to try to hack it in terms of my wifi, photos, contacts, browsing, etc. Are there any suggested apps (mcafee mobile security, Norton security for iPhone) that I should install to protect my iPhone?

You do not need to add any anti-virus apps to the phone. As long as you have 2 factor authenticaton on your Apple ID and have strong passwords on your accounts, a passcode on the screen, and Find My iPhone turned on, your data is safe.
