Security Plus - False Positive vs False Negative (Incorrect content??)

---

Am I crazy, or did Wes get false positive and false negative backwards?

Thank you, thank you for bringing this to my attention, this is wrong and needs corrected:

False = Incorrect
True = Correct
Positive = Malicious
Negative = Non-malicious

False Positive = Incorrectly identified as malicious

• This happens a lot when a system is first put into operation as the device learns

False Negative = Incorrectly identified as non-malicious

True Positive = Correctly identified as malicious

True Negative = Correctly identified as non-malicious

We will correct my crossed wires there ASAP with correction in the show notes immediately. Not sure why I got the diagram wrong but it is very wrong.

I see the notes have been amended but I would recommend marking this information clearly in the Description of the Vulnerability Scanning video or even adding a disclaimer in the video advising the video has these two terms the wrong way around.

I for one do not usually read the notes and so if I didn't already know the correct definitions I would have taken the video as fact.
