Calibration in cybersecurity refers to the process of adjusting and configuring security devices or systems to ensure their measurements, detections, or responses are accurate and reliable. This involves comparing the device’s outputs with established standards or reference points, then making necessary adjustments to minimize errors or deviations. Calibration is crucial for devices like intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and security sensors, as it helps maintain optimal performance and reduces the risk of false positives or negatives. Regular calibration supports compliance with security policies and industry regulations, ensuring that security controls function as intended to protect digital assets.
