Report False-Negative Detection to Monarx

False negative detections occur in the context of cybersecurity and threat detection when a security system or antivirus software fails to identify a genuine threat or malicious activity as such. In other words, the system incorrectly classifies the threat as benign or non-malicious, allowing it to go undetected and potentially causing harm to the targeted system or network.

False negatives can be problematic as they lead to a false sense of security, leaving organizations vulnerable to cyberattacks and data breaches. To improve threat detection accuracy, it's crucial for security teams to continuously fine-tune and update their detection mechanisms and stay vigilant in analyzing potential threats.

This article explains how to submit false-negative detections, or malicious files incorrectly flagged as benign, directly to Monarx. This process improves Monarx's overall detection accuracy and efficacy.
