What are false positives in cybersecurity — and why do they matter? In this video, we break down the concept of false positives: those annoying alerts that cry wolf when there’s no real threat. You’ll learn how they happen, the difference between false positives and false negatives, and the hidden costs they create for security teams. We’ll also walk through real-world examples, explore how false positives impact SOC efficiency, and share practical strategies to reduce them using better configurations, machine learning, and smarter alert triage.
