You may wish to browse these resources which will indicate why you probably don't need an app for this. If you are indeed one of the rich and famous who might need specific security then you should probably contact a security consultant.

My impression is the weakest part of security is the behavior of individuals themselves falling for scams and phishing and no app can protect against that. Be smart.

What are you trying to secure or achieve? As StanleyG. states, additional security applications unnecessary on Apple's platforms. I will go further and suggest that the majority of "security" applications installed are marketing nonsense at best, but have the real likelihood to instead reduce your devices security, stability, performance, and privacy.
