The debate about how safe your iPhone is from phishing, malware, viruses and spam has been raging for quite some time now, with many experts saying it’s only a matter of time before the iPhone is subject to a major security incident, but now Mobile Application Development has come up with a security app designed to protect your iPhone, called Mobile Active Defense (MAD for short). MAD’s proprietary cloud-based security technology has no impact on the iPhone’s performance or overhead, and its cloud servers employ enterprise-grade phishing, malware, virus and spam protection, which aim to stop junk email from ever reaching the iPhone. The app performs over 100 security updates every day without any intervention from the user or any downloading to your iPhone, and is compatible with all leading email services, including Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and all IMAP and POP compatible systems such as Lotus Notes. Here’s MAD Partners CTO Rob Smith talking about MAD:

“This is tremendous. Unlike traditional A/V protection, we’ve done it right. Finally the smartphone user is assured of the most timely updates against the newest threats, automatically.”

MAD is available from the iTunes App Store at a cost of $16.99 for a one-year license.
