Abstract
A first data object is received for storing in an object repository of a storage platform. An encryption value of the object repository is increased responsive to identifying that a current entropy level of the first data object exceeds a prior entropy level of the first data object by more than a first threshold value. Remediation is performed by a processing device on the object repository responsive to determining that the encryption value of the object repository exceeds a second threshold value.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a first data object for storing in an object repository of a storage platform;
- increasing an encryption value of the object repository responsive to identifying that a current entropy level of the first data object exceeds a prior entropy level of the first data object by more than a first threshold value;
- and
- performing, by a processing device, remediation on the object repository responsive to determining that the encryption value of the object repository exceeds a second threshold value.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:
- receive a first data object for storing in an object repository of a storage platform;
- increase an encryption value of the object repository responsive to identifying that a current entropy level of the first data object exceeds a prior entropy level of the first data object by more than a first threshold value;
- and
- perform remediation on the object repository responsive to determining that the encryption value of the object repository exceeds a second threshold value.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- receive a first data object for storing in an object repository of a storage platform;
- increase an encryption value of the object repository responsive to identifying that a current entropy level of the first data object exceeds a prior entropy level of the first data object by more than a first threshold value;
- and
- perform, by the processing device, remediation on the object repository responsive to determining that the encryption value of the object repository exceeds a second threshold value.
