Optimizing Memory Usage: Streamlining Indicator Handling for Efficient Alert Linking

The Problem: Too Many Indicators, Too Much Memory:
One of the prevalent issues faced by security systems is the strain on memory caused by an excessive number of indicators.

A Strategic Solution: Taking a Step-by-Step Approach:
To address this challenge, consider a shift in the workflow. Instead of linking indicators immediately to alerts, implement a step-by-step process:

  1. Separate Creation and Linking:

    • Begin by creating indicators independently without immediately connecting them to the alert. This prevents an initial surge in memory usage.
  2. Consolidate Indicator Details:

    • After indicator creation, compile all the indicator details into a unified list. This consolidation simplifies the subsequent linking process.
  3. Efficient Linking:

    • Finally, use a single step to link the consolidated list of indicators to the alert. This streamlined approach significantly reduces memory usage, optimizing system performance.
