Falsepositive Stories

1. Definition: False Positive: This occurs when a security tool or system mistakenly flags legitimate or benign activities as potential threats or vulnerabilities. This can happen due to overly aggressive security measures, lack of contextual understanding, or inadequately tuned detection systems. Typically, human intervention or further investigation is required to verify that the flagged activity is non-malicious. Real Vulnerability: Represents an actual weakness or flaw within a system, application, or network that attackers can exploit to compromise security, gain unauthorized access, or disrupt operations. These vulnerabilities demand immediate attention and remediation to mitigate the risks they pose to the system or network.
