False Negatives and False Positives

False positives and false negatives are common occurrences when evaluating security systems and tools. A false positive is when a system incorrectly identifies a normal activity as malicious, raising an alert when there's actually no threat. Conversely, a false negative occurs when a system fails to detect a genuine malicious activity, allowing a threat to slip through unnoticed. Effectively managing and minimizing both types of errors is crucial for maintaining a robust and reliable security posture.
