IPS/IDS use cases

Hi,

Our firewalls generate around 1000 High and Critical alerts daily. I would like to create uses related to these notifications but not sure what will be the best way to handle its number. Could somebody advise what will be the best way to implement this please?

Anytime there's a large amount of alerts or data, you just have to find a way to summarize it and then break it apart and focus on one thing at a time to see what is actually going on. I'd start by reviewing what signatures are coming in. Is it a majority of certain types? Is that type actually a concern in your environment? Are these alerts actually things that are concerning or is something set up strangely on the firewall? You will likely need to work with the firewall team to ensure that the threat detections on their side are set up in a useful way and you're not getting alerts for expected traffic. So, lots of things to do here, but start by breaking down the information into chunks. I'd focus on types of signatures and known assets/networks.
