What is default definitions?

Default definitions are preset values or arrangements in a system that are automatically applied when no action is taken by a user or when an error occurs. These defaults may apply to settings, configurations, permissions or other system functions. In computing, default definitions are commonly used in operating systems, software applications, and computer networks, as they provide a convenient way to simplify the user experience and ensure a consistent behavior across different interfaces and devices. However, default definitions can also pose security risks if they are not properly managed and can result in unintended outcomes. In some cases, users may be able to customize or override default settings to fit their specific needs or preferences.
