User Vigilance

Definition

User vigilance describes the active and careful attention users must maintain to protect their digital assets and personal information. This involves practicing strong security habits, such as recognizing phishing attempts, using robust multi-factor authentication, verifying transaction details, and staying informed about common scam techniques. A high level of user vigilance acts as a critical first line of defense against social engineering attacks and other malicious activities in the digital realm. It complements technological security measures by addressing human factors.
