What term describes the process of determining whether a detected vulnerability is actually present?
False positive
Threat hunting
Reporting
Confirmation
Confirmation is the correct term because it involves verifying whether a detected vulnerability by a scan or a security tool truly exists and is not a false positive. It's important for security professionals to accurately confirm vulnerabilities to prioritize remediation efforts and avoid wasting resources on issues that aren’t actual vulnerabilities. A false positive, on the other hand, would refer to erroneously identified issues that are not actual vulnerabilities, and reporting is related to the communication of findings, not the verification of them. Threat hunting is the proactive search for threats that are not detected by automated systems.
