NOTHING will protect you from a DIRECT strike but the other types of devices can (and have for me) save you from damage caused by the transients that come down the line from the folks who unfortunately did get hit. I doubt even a lightning rod will however that should PREVENT strikes and whether it does or doesn’t if a neighbor gets hit a lightening rod won’t stop what comes in down the power lines which is where a good quality surge suppressor will help ( not the ones that look like outlet strips but commercial grade devices).
