You work as a Security Analyst for a retail organization. In securing the company's network, you set up a firewall and an IDS. However, hackers are able to attack the network. After investigating, you discover that your IDS is not configured properly and therefore is unable to trigger alarms when needed. What type of alert is the IDS giving?

False Positive

True Positive

False Negative

True Negative

Explanation

can we get a clarification/citation on the differences between the available answers? This was on the CEH test taken on 2-15-2016. True-Positive = It's true that the IDS raised an alert because there were bad traffic - True-Negative = It's true that the IDS did not raise an alert because there is no bad traffic - False-Positive = It's false that the IDS raised an alert because there is no bad traffic - False-Negative = It's false that the IDS did not raise an alert because there is bad traffic - Edit: As specified in this explanation the IDS isn't giving ANY alert, so the question is poorly worded.
