Sure, just rely on Mother Apple to protect yourself.
If there was a need for a security program you can be sure there would be many available.
There are plenty available. Why is it you feel so safe? Have you looked into what iOS vulnerabilities are out there? Or are you just part of the Apple crowd that believes Apple can do no wrong and is impervious to hacking. I do agree it's less of a target that other operating systems. But it still has vulnerabilities.
Here's a thought, read a few security blogs by people like Brian Krebs. Do some Google searches on terms like "ios malware vulnerability". I think you'd not only be shocked, but your eyes will be opened. I work in IT security. It's not a matter of "if" you get compromised, it's a matter of "when". Nothing is safe. Putting a lock on the front door will go a long way toward steering cyber criminals to other more vulnerable machines.
Really, it's no skin off me if you get compromised. I just find it sort of amusing that people feel so safe using iOS.
