What term is used to describe a scenario where an actual security issue is not reported or identified by a security system?
True positive
False security
False negative
False positive
A false negative is a situation where a security system fails to detect an actual security threat or vulnerability, incorrectly indicating that everything is secure when, in fact, it is not. This can result in unaddressed vulnerabilities that may be exploited by an attacker. On the other hand, a false positive refers to a security system mistakenly identifying legitimate activity as malicious, resulting in wasted resources and potential disruption of normal operations. True positive describes accurate detection of an actual threat, while false security is not a commonly used term in the context of threat detection and is often used rhetorically to describe an unwarranted feeling of safety.
