False Negative: An instance in system monitoring or threat detection where a genuine problem, such as a security breach, system failure, or malicious activity, goes unnoticed. A false negative essentially means the system failed to recognize and alert a real issue, which is highly concerning as it can lead to significant damage or security compromises without immediate detection or resolution.
