What is the maximum acceptable latency for communication between DSM and the database?

The maximum acceptable latency for communication between the Deep Security Manager (DSM) and the database is indeed set at 2 milliseconds. This threshold is critical as it ensures that the communication between the DSM and the database is efficient and does not degrade the performance of the security management processes.

When this latency is maintained, it allows for rapid data retrieval and processing, which contributes to the overall responsiveness of the security solutions deployed. Such low latency is especially important in environments where real-time threat detection and response are necessary, ensuring that security measures can quickly react to potential threats.

Latency above this accepted maximum can lead to delays in processing security events and managing resources effectively, which can compromise the security posture of the organization. This is why a 2-millisecond limit is established as an optimal benchmark to strike a balance between performance and reliability in communication between the DSM and the database.
