A school has a web server mainly used for parents to view school events, access student performance indicators, and communicate with teachers. The network administrator suspects a security-related event has occurred and is reviewing what steps should be taken.

Reports of network slowness lead the network administrator to review server alerts. The administrator confirms that an alert was an actual security incident. Which type of security alert classification would this be?

  • false negative
  • false positive
  • true negative
  • true positive

Explanation: A positive alert of any type means that the system generated a system alert. A true positive indicates the incident occurred. A false positive is that no incident occurred (the system alerted, but there was no problem). A negative alert of any type means there was no alert generated. A true negative indicates that there wasn’t any incident (thus no alert). A false negative indicates that there was an incident, but an alert was not generated.
