The FireSIGHT System User Guide does not reflect that, on devices with limited memory, the number of intrusion
policies may not be paired with more than one variable set. In the case where you can apply an access control policy
that references only one intrusion policy, verify every reference to the intrusion policy is paired with the same variable
set. Pairing an intrusion policy with different variable sets results in memory usage.
