User endpoint risk describes the security vulnerabilities associated with the devices and applications individuals use to interact with digital asset systems. This includes risks related to compromised personal computers, mobile devices, web browsers, or client-side software used for managing cryptocurrency wallets or accessing decentralized applications. Exploits targeting user endpoints can lead to unauthorized access to private keys, theft of digital assets, or malicious transaction approvals. Securing these endpoints is a fundamental aspect of personal digital asset security.
