In this case, the legitimate traffic was "incorrectly classified as positive".
False positive: Happens when the system raises
an event against legitimate traffic that is not
malicious. The IPS or IDS administrator’s goal is to
minimize false positive events because these types
of the events can cause unneeded investigation.
A false negative occurs when the security system (usually a WAF) fails to identify a threat.
It produces a “negative” outcome (meaning that no threat has been observed), even though a threat exists.
This is the opposite of a false positive alarm,
where a system mistakenly identifies legitimate traffic as being hostile.
