False positive rate

The share of raised findings that are not real. A high rate destroys a security tool's credibility and buries the true positives. Evidence-based detection and reachability are how a modern engine keeps it near zero.

How apPosture treats it

apPosture is a self-hosted, proof-based ASPM platform: it confirms findings with real, safe exploits, correlates every source into one risk-weighted posture, and runs entirely inside your infrastructure with a local LLM. See the proof methodology or the platform.
