How Storage Workload Security
Detects Anomalies in User Behavior

• Builds a behavioral model for each

user
• Detects abnormal change in user
activity
• Analyzes abnormal behavior
patterns to determine type of
threat
• Detects Ransomware
• Provides insights on potential attacks

• Identifies and reduces false positive alert

noise by continually learning and

Intelligent Threat and Impact Analysis
Alerts give you the information you need to
assess the threat

• Identify
• What (risk): Potential Attack
• Who: User and Source IP
• When: Real time detection
• Impact: Affected volumes and files

• Rich graphical interface for

analysis
• View user profile and activity
information
• Compare user activity during alert

How Storage Workload Security Uses
Automated Response Policies

Define automated response policies

based on
detected activity
• Administrators receive an alert to
investigate
suspicious activity
• Take snapshot to protect your data
when a
potential attack is detected
• When a ransomware attack is
detected the user’s access can be
restricted to stop the attack.
• When abnormal file deletion is
detected, the user’s access can be
restricted to stop the attack
