Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intrusion Detection Systems sometimes generate a large volume of false-positives, which are alerts that indicate an intrusion has occurred when in fact it has not. This can lead to user frustration and cause important alerts to be ignored or overlooked. False-negatives, which occur when an intrusion goes undetected, are also a concern, but not the potential problem mentioned in the question. True-positives and true-negatives are not problematic outcomes for an IDS to generate.
