ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity — Question 3

Which of the monitor alerts is considered most dangerous?

Answer options

• A. True Positive
• B. False Positive
• C. False Negative
• D. True Negative

Correct answer: C

Explanation

A False Negative is the most dangerous alert because it indicates that a problem exists when the system reports everything is normal, potentially leading to undetected issues. On the other hand, True Positives confirm actual problems, False Positives may indicate issues that aren't real but still allow for further investigation, and True Negatives confirm that everything is functioning properly.
