Performance & Scale

As environments expand, vulnerability volumes increase as well. Cloudaware is built to support high-volume ingestion, but scale should still be taken into account when configuring the platform.

Use this guide to plan and configure Vulnerability Management for scale.

Ingestion and Normalization

• Use record types and source fields to segment data by scanner.
• Avoid ingesting duplicate or test accounts unless needed.
• Apply grouping and deduplication strategies to reduce noise.

Query and Dashboard Performance

• Build dashboards on summarized views where possible (e.g., counts by OU and severity).
• Filter list views by OU, application, environment, and risk band rather than querying all records at once.
• Use date filters (e.g., “open in last 12 months”) to narrow scope.

Operational Practices

• Monitor ingestion rates and storage usage over time.
• Periodically clean up or archive obsolete data (e.g., long‑closed findings).
• Coordinate with Cloudaware support support@cloudaware.com for large migrations or onboarding of new scanner sources at scale.
