#End_User# is the person who uses the software or device after it has been fully developed, marketed, and installed. The user or #end_user has the same definition or meaning.

The user is responsible for protecting his internal network from any irregular #penetration, whether through calls or his #data traffic. This is according to the telecommunications system issued by royal decree aimed at regulating the telecommunications sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Organizations and service providers must commit to implementing #cybersecurity tools, training, and risk management methods, and constantly updating systems as technologies change and develop, to protect organizations, employees, individuals, and the end user, who bears part of the responsibility for maintaining #cybersecurity, especially since private devices and platforms contain points A weakness that, when exploited, undermines the health and goals of the organization.

Several warnings have been issued by senior intelligence officials that #cyberattacks and digital espionage constitute the greatest threat to national security and even surpass terrorism. Therefore, companies and organizations, especially those charged with protecting information related to national security, health, or financial records, must take steps to protect their sensitive business and employee information.

In turn, the #end_user must know the importance of the information in his hands and be careful to protect it and not publish it or neglect it, because it is valuable and, if leaked, could expose the organization or the user himself to situations with undesirable consequences, such as hacking and trading, which may lead in extreme cases to the bankruptcy of the company. . Awareness and user conviction play a major role in the process of protection and information security.

As for the organization, it needs to coordinate its efforts throughout the information system in order to have effective #cybersecurity. Which includes educating the #end_user and educating him on following best practices, such as: not clicking on unknown links, not downloading suspicious attachments in emails, etc.

Unsuspecting users are the most vulnerable to danger, so they must always be alert, safe, and prepared to confront any threat or danger. Perhaps the prevailing belief that the human element is the most vulnerable point, the most targeted, and the most easily accessible when carrying out #hacks may change when every individual becomes aware of his responsibilities within the scope of #cybersecurity.
