Artificial intelligence (ai) assisted anomaly detection of intrusion in storage systems

A storage drive with anomaly monitoring, comprising:

• a storage controller operative to receive and execute I/O commands on the storage drive;
• a local memory including a log regarding operations of the storage drive at least including the I/O commands, the log is written to the local memory by the storage controller jointly with the execution of the I/O commands by the storage controller;
• and
• an artificial intelligence (AI) processor core operative to access the log from the local memory and execute an AI analysis on the log to monitor for an anomaly related to the operations of the storage drive.

One or more tangible processor-readable storage media embodied with instructions for executing on one or more processors and circuits of a device a process for anomaly monitoring in a storage drive, the process comprising:

• receiving I/O commands at a storage controller of the storage drive, the storage controller located locally to the storage drive;
• executing the I/O commands on the storage drive using the storage controller;
• writing a log regarding operations of the storage drive at least including the I/O commands into a local memory of the storage drive;
• and
• accessing the log with an artificial intelligence (AI) processor core to execute an AI analysis on the log to monitor for an anomaly related to the operations of the storage drive, the AI processor core located locally to the storage drive.
