   • AStop sending indicators to the firewall and rely on the SIEM for detection.
   • BConfigure the TIP to prioritize high-confidence indicators for firewall dissemination and implement a retry queue with exponential backoff for rate-limited requests.
   • CSend all indicators to the firewall regardless of rate limits, accepting that some will fail.
   • DIncrease the API rate limit on the firewall to accommodate all indicators.
