Explanation & Hint:
- True Positive: Malicious traffic is correctly identified as a threat. This means the system accurately detected actual malicious activity.
- False Positive: Normal traffic is incorrectly identified as a threat. This occurs when benign activity is mistakenly flagged as malicious, leading to unnecessary investigation or action.
- False Negative: Malicious traffic is not identified as a threat. In this case, the system fails to detect actual malicious activity, which could allow a security breach to occur undetected.
- True Negative: Normal traffic is not identified as a threat. This is the desired outcome for benign activity, where the system correctly identifies that there is no threat present.
