Probably your iPhone is one of your most prized possessions in your whole life. So, isn’t it imperative for you to protect it from the malicious eyes of hackers and jealous tech-crunchy programmers who are all set to destroy your iPhone? We suppose it is which is why we bring you the top security apps for iPhone 4 in the market today. Some of them are free but most of them are paid. We suggest that you shell out a few bucks in the best interest of your iPhone.

Big Brother Camera security

Big Brother Camera security is one such application. Unlike many such Android apps which turn out to be fake, this one really is a face detection login system for your iPhone. It takes pictures of anyone and everyone who is trying to enter your iPhone. An alarm can be set which would go off in case of attempt break-in of your iPhone.

Phone Security - Fingerprint Protection

Phone Security is an app which also employs biometrics in protecting your iPhone but the biometric is of a different kind. Yes, your thought was right. Phone Security uses fingerprint detection technology to grant access to your iPhone. This means that no one except you will be granted the honorable permission to enter your private arena, i.e. your iPhone.

Security Organizer

Security Organizer is a great app for storing confidential data. But what good is a door without a lock; so the developers have incorporated a master password with a huge encryption in order to safeguard your private data even if your iPhone is stolen or lost, so that you can at least save your bank account, your credit card, etc.

Firewall IP

Firewall IP is an app which costs about $2.99 and it creates a firewall for your iPhone so that you can control the data which is going out through wireless networks, 3G, etc. The app is pretty efficient and worth $2.99.

Snap (Simple Network Area Prober)

Snap (Simple Network Area Prober) is a pretty simple to use application which scans nearby Local Area Networks for accessible services on other computers and phones. This doesn’t exactly fall under the purview of security for your iPhone but it can be used to check how safe the network you’re using is. The more number of accessible services on nearby computers, the higher is the time to change your network location!

iCamViewer

iCamViewer is an awesome application through which you can monitor feeds from the CCTV camera in your office directly onto your mobile device. This is particularly useful because you cannot keep looking at the monitor assiduously for hours together. A great app for people who work in security departments!

iPortScan PRO

iPortScan pro offers port scanning features which are pretty useful for system admins to keep a track on what is happening in their networks. However, it is disconcerting to note that this app does not feature a network discovery tool which comes in handy to find out third party networks, if any, operating on a close range. Apart from that, the app works good enough.
