An organization has deployed a Unified Threat Management (UTM) device to consolidate multiple security functions. While reviewing security logs, it is noted that a specific alert keeps recurring, and it has been determined to be a false positive. To improve the efficiency of security operations, what should be done to handle this situation without compromising the actual threat detection capability of the UTM?
Perform alert tuning specific to the false positive condition.
Increase the sensitivity of the UTM to capture more events.
Disable the alert to prevent further false positives.
Alert tuning involves adjusting the configuration and parameters of a security device to more accurately reflect true threats and minimize false positives. By tuning the alerts, the organization can reduce the number of incorrect alerts, which allows the security team to focus on actual threats, thereby improving operational efficiency without lowering the security posture.
