Security is a significant concern for smartphone users. Windows Phone 8.1 has undergone substantial improvements in terms of security features.
To enhance security for Windows Phone, here are some methods to consider:

Currently, Windows Phone users still enjoy a relatively safe device even without antivirus applications or firewalls. However, as Windows Phone continues to evolve and the user base grows, the need for such applications will arise.

2. Security with Lock Screen
To boost privacy and security, the lock screen is indispensable for smart devices.
With Windows Phone, users can set up the lock screen.
Moreover, you are allowed to set the screen lock timeout (the time interval after which the lock screen will appear when you lock the screen). You can customize this time interval as desired.
And when you no longer wish to set up the lock screen, you can also easily turn off this mode.
Windows Phone also allows you to set up a PIN for your SIM card. However, if not absolutely necessary, this feature is not encouraged for use.
