False Positives in Cyber Security

False Positives in Cyber Security

A false positive is an error in which a result incorrectly indicates the presence of a condition. In cybersecurity a false positive is an alert that incorrectly identifies that malicious activity is occurring on a network. Security teams rely on security technologies to produce the least amount of false positive alerts as possible, so that they can hunt for and resolve real threats to their environments.
