This excellent User Tip, Effective defenses against malware and other threats authored by John Galt states:

"Rather than asking which non-Apple "anti-virus" or "Internet security" product is best, a much better question is "how should I protect my Mac""

No it does not, no Apple products need any third party security products. Mac OS, iPad IOS, and IOS are all extremely secure and only need to be kept up-to-date to remain so. If you want to make your Apple device slow, unstable and appear buggy then begin introducing third party antivirus, security, cleaning or any other "maintenance" app.
