When analyzing detection alerts, which scenario best explains a false positive?
Signature definitions do not load in the console
A threat is overlooked by the monitoring tool
A confirmed attack prompts a valid notification
Harmless traffic is identified as dangerous
A false positive occurs when a security system incorrectly classifies harmless activity as malicious. This typically results in alerts for legitimate user behavior or normal traffic. This contrasts with a false negative, where actual threats are missed. The other options either describe correct detections or system issues unrelated to alert accuracy.
