Top Security Apps for Apple

www.VVPhones.com

Find My iPhone

Available for iOS 5 or later versions,

the Find my iPhone functionality within

“iCloud” lets you track your device

when it gets lost or stolen.

With Find My iPhone turned on, if your

phone is lost or stolen, you can locate

it, display a message on the screen,

play a sound for two minutes, and lock

and/or wipe the device remotely. You

don’t need the free Find My iPhone app

to find your own iPhone if it’s lost, but

the app allows you to use your iPhone

to perform the same functions for

another iOS device.

Virus BarrierVirusBarrier iOS by Intego allows files

to be securely opened on the iPhone.

This app stops viruses and malware

from passing through your iPhone,

causing damage to your phone or

passing to your computer. With this on-

demand scanner, you can validate,

view and save any e-mail attachment,

file on your device, or file from a

remote location (such as Dropbox,

Google Drive or SkyDrive) for viruses,

worms, Trojan horses, and all other

known Mac OS X and Windows

malware.

It can be used for iOS 4 or later and

cost only $0.99

GadgetTrak

GadgetTrak offers slightly different

functionality from Find My iPhone. If

your iPhone is stolen, you can use the

device’s built-in cameras to take a

photo of the thief – something Find My

iPhone doesn’t offer. And while Find

My iPhone allows you to view your

iPhone’s location on a map,

GadgetTrak shows your device’s

location at pre-set intervals, allowing

you to view past locations as well as

the current one.

Available on App Store for $3.99 and is

compatible to iOS 4 or later.

SplashID Safe

for iPhone

SplashID Safe for iPhone enables

secure storage of your online

passwords, as well as credit card data,

account numbers, registration codes

and more. An automatic password

generator helps create strong

passwords, stored data is protected

using 256-bit Blowfish encryption, and

the app syncs over Wi-Fi with the

company’s desktop software.

Compatible with iOS 4.3 for only

$19.95

1Password ProAgileBits’ 1Password Pro offers functionality

similar to SplashID, with one key

differentiator – the app offers the option of

syncing with the 1Password desktop

software via Dropbox in addition to Wi-Fi.

“Your 1Password data are encrypted before

they get stored or transmitted anywhere,”

AgileBits explains on its website. “If you use

Dropbox to sync your 1Password data

across devices, a copy of your 1Password

data will be stored on the Dropbox system.

Even if Dropbox were to be compromised,

an attacker would need your master

password, which only you know, to decrypt

… your 1Password data.”

Available on App Store for $8.99 and is

compatible to iOS 6 or grater.
