downsides:
  - Complexity: Implementing pattern matching can be complex, especially for intricate patterns and large datasets. This can lead to increased development time and potential for errors.
  - Performance: Pattern matching can be resource-intensive, particularly when dealing with large volumes of data. This can slow down system performance if not optimized properly.
  - Maintenance: Keeping pattern matching rules up-to-date can be challenging, especially as new patterns and threats emerge. Regular updates and maintenance are required to ensure effectiveness.
  - False Positives/Negatives: There is always a risk of false positives (incorrectly identifying something as a match) and false negatives (failing to identify a true match), which can impact the accuracy of the system.

security_risks:
  - Evasion Techniques: Attackers can use various techniques to evade pattern matching, such as obfuscating code or using polymorphic malware that changes its appearance to avoid detection.
  - Signature Database Limitations: Pattern matching relies on a database of known signatures. If a new or unknown threat doesn't match any existing signatures, it can go undetected.
  - Resource Exhaustion: Attackers can exploit pattern matching by creating patterns that cause excessive resource consumption, leading to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
  - Data Exposure: If pattern matching is used to process sensitive data, there is a risk of exposing this data if the system is compromised.
