CM Security
CM Security I can say it it’s my favorite, it's free, includes a highly-rated antivirus engine with an app scanner to scan your mobiles and SD cards. It also features the ability to lock individual apps or settings for a better protection and privacy. It can erase personal information from the clipboard and browsing records automatically and even take a photo of anyone who enters an incorrect password twice and block unwanted calls. It gives you the option to block malicious URLs and clear your device RAM to boost device and gaming performance for the gamer like me. Anti-theft features include remote locate, alarm and a device lock too.

NoRoot Firewall
NoRoot is the one I use, I have it on all my devices I have tested a few of them in root and non-root devices and this one is recommended mostly for the non-root user community. Is one of the best that I have tested and use for a very long time. I really recommended. Have a Hostname/domain name filtering, simple and easy interface. It has fine-grained access control and no suspicious permissions on the firewall app itself and that’s is very good. It protects your personal data from being sent to the Internet. It’s a small app and don’t use much memory and I love that.
you can create filter rules based on IP address that’s convenient even host names or domain names. You can allow or deny only specific connections of every app you want.
The app features:
No root required as the name NoRoot Firewall says
Fine-grained access control based on IP/hostname/domain name.
Simple interface. Easy to use.
Minimal permissions. No location, No phone number.
This is the best and perfect solution if you need a firewall for your non-root devices.

Google Authenticator
Google Authenticator this one is a plus in security. I once lost my sim card and have to write and even call google to retrieve and have access to my stuff when I register my new sim card was kind of a pain in the back but that just proof to me the real top notch security they have and that is serious and not close to a joke. Well there’s a few out there that do just the same but Google brand is very well known and preferred among trillion users including myself.
Ok now to what the app can do.
Its generates a 2-Step Verification codes on your phone.
2-Step Verification provides a stronger security for your Google Account just by asking for a second password verification when you sign in. the you will receive that password in your SMS then you will have access to your data or info.
