If you are concerned about viruses and such as long as your device is not jail broken there is no need to worry. iOS is very safe.

If your iPhone get stolen, no apps can help you since it can be restore as new (deleting all the apps). Make sure your Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud is switched ON.


If you can hold on to your iPhone till this Fall, IOS7 will be even more secure that is even when restore as new, iPhone needs the your Apple ID and password to activate.

There are several security apps in the App Store but most are for data protection. Find My IPhone is very good for blocking the phone and limited tracking but its an "after the fact" app which has some preventative value but I doubt a thief would pass up a chance based on Find My iPhone might be employed against him. There are many things you can do personally to help most are just common sense like:


When outside of your home never leave the phone out of your possession.

Never lay it down on a table or leave it in a car.

Keep it in your front pants pocket or in a jacket pocket.


I know this may sound trivial but I'm surprised at people who think just because they use a password that nobody will bother their phone. I visited my sons college and in their library there were several phones just laying on various tables unattended.


Hopefully someone else can direct you to a better security app than what I saw.
