Pegasus is a highly sophisticated and controversial spyware tool developed by the Israeli cybersecurity firm NSO Group. Pegasus is designed to infiltrate and infect mobile devices, including smartphones, and it allows the attacker to remotely monitor and collect a wide range of information from the compromised device. This information can include text messages, call logs, emails, GPS location data, and more. It can also be used to activate the device's microphone and camera for audio and video surveillance.

I would say to just keep your OS and software and such up to date, enable features like Lockdown Mode on iOS if available to you, and just generally have good security practices. Really not much else you can do.
