SECURITY False Positives Annoying Reality or Dangerous Trend? By Brady Hicks How accurate is your cybersecurity software? Does it catch the major threats, sometimes even honing in on the smaller, often overlooked vulnerabilities? Can it offer the pinpoint effectiveness your organization needs? Or are the scans sometimes far less effective, returning false positive flags or potentially overlooking a more serious attack? According to the data, there is a significant chance of the latter. Per a recent report from Cato Networks, nearly one-third of all threat intelligence feeds were found to contain either false positive results or a malicious IoC (indicator of compromise). This issue is further compounded in remote and hybrid work landscapes, where oftentimes your employee is left to his or her own, with minimal oversight over their actions and, in some cases, bad choices. Either way, the risks are numerous. While no single SIEM (security information and event management) system is completely foolproof, its ultimate success, as well as the operational benefit to your company, depends on its ability to identify and remove the weeds from the garden that is your organization. The bad news? Any inaccuracy represents an inability to prevent bad actors from striking, as well as a time-drain for those left to sift through the remains. 22 REMOTE WORK SOLUTIONS rwsmagazine.com
