Abstract
An illustrative method includes a data protection controller receiving, from a security threat monitoring application communicatively coupled to the data protection controller by way of a network, event data triggered by a detection by the security threat monitoring application of a security threat against a host attached to a storage element of a storage system remote from the host; and performing, based on the event data, a data protection operation with respect to the storage element.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a data protection controller from a security threat monitoring application communicatively coupled to the data protection controller by way of a network, event data triggered by a detection by the security threat monitoring application of a security threat against a host attached to a storage element of a storage system remote from the host;
- and
- performing, by the data protection controller based on the event data, a data protection operation with respect to the storage element.
A system comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform a process comprising:
- receiving, from a security threat monitoring application, event data triggered by a detection by the security threat monitoring application of a security threat against a host attached to a storage element of a storage system remote from the host;
- and
- performing, based on the event data, a data protection operation with respect to the storage element.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, direct a processor of a computing device to:
- receive, from a security threat monitoring application, event data triggered by a detection by the security threat monitoring application of a security threat against a host attached to a storage element of a storage system remote from the host;
- and
- perform, based on the event data, a data protection operation with respect to the storage element.
