English term or phrase: False positives
False Positives (heading) (false alarm?)
 
Para. following heading (for context)
Automated policy-based scanning is not fool-proof, and there will be occasions when an alert is triggered which, upon inspection, proves to be a false positive. In these cases:
inspection shall be limited to the least perusal of contents
- the alert will be deleted
- the policy which triggered the alert will be amended to better tune it to future scans

German translation:Fehlalarm
Explanation:
In der Mathematik handelt es sich um einen Fehler erster Art. Ich denke aber, dass hier ruhig etwas umgangssprachlicher formuliert werden kann: Fehlalarm oder Falschmeldung.

neutral  Konrad Schultz: Die Übersetzung ist richtig, aber die Mathematik/Statistiik würde ich hier rauslassen, weil gar keine zu prüfende Hypothese aufgestellt wird.//OK

  -> Eben, sag ich ja. Deswegen mein Vorschlag "Fehlalarm" (nebenbei bemerkt: Natürlich wird eine Hypothese aufgestellt, nämlich: Die geprüfte Nachricht ist Spam o.ä.). Ich nehm das mal als "agree".
