Explanation & Hint: True negatives occur when an intrusion detection device identifies an activity as acceptable behavior, and the activity is acceptable. False negatives are malicious activities not detected by a network security device. False positives are situations in which a security device triggers an alarm, but no malicious activity or actual attack occurs. True positives are successfully identifying a security attack or a malicious event. |
