A false positive occurs when a security system incorrectly identifies legitimate, non-malicious activity as a threat. As a result, it generates an alert or blocks the action. False positives are common in tools like antivirus software, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and email filters, where overly sensitive or misconfigured settings can flag normal behavior and files as suspicious.

Code deobfuscation involves reversing techniques used to obscure the functionality of a program. Obfuscation methods include renaming variables to meaningless characters, rearranging code flow, and embedding complex encryption methods to disguise the true logic of the program and protect it from reverse engineering and other attacks. Deobfuscation reverses these methods to reveal the original intent of the code, allowing cybersecurity experts or malicious attackers to understand its structure.

Zero Trust is a cybersecurity framework that continuously verifies your identity and grants the least privilege while accessing resources.

Attack vectors are techniques that cyber attackers use to infiltrate systems, networks, or applications to exploit vulnerabilities. Attack vectors give unauthorized access and facilitate malicious actions like data theft, malware installation, or service disruption. They target weaknesses in software, hardware, and user behavior using techniques like malware, phishing, social engineering, or exploiting software bugs.
