The study examined the impact of strategic vigilance and its various dimensions (environmental, competitive, technological, and commercial) on organizational reliability. It sought to identify the degree to which the dimensions of strategic vigilance exist in the Sudanese banking sector. The study used a descriptive-analytical approach in collecting and analyzing data. A questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 100 employees of the Sudanese banking sector. The data were analyzed using SPSS, a social sciences software package. Regression analysis showed that the dimensions of strategic vigilance have a positive impact on organizational reliability. The correlation coefficient was 0.977, and the coefficient of determination was 0.954, indicating that strategic vigilance accounted for 95.4% of the variance. Also, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test showed that the model is significant (F = 664.392). The results showed that marketing vigilance has the highest impact, followed by competitiveness, environmental vigilance, and technological vigilance, respectively, which are statistically significant. It is recommended that banks strengthen their monitoring of competitive, technological, marketing, and environmental trends and use the information for strategic and operational decision making.
