Method and system for secured drive level access for storage arrays

A system, comprising:

• a storage array including a storage drive;
• a computing device, communicably coupled to said storage array;
• a detection component configured to detect a triggering event, wherein said triggering event is indicative of corruption or malfunction of said storage drive;
• and
• a security component configured to apply a security profile to a driver interface of said storage drive of said storage array in order to control access of said computing device to said storage drive and setting said storage drive at a first security level,
• wherein said security component sets said storage drive at a second security level, upon detection of said triggering event by said detection component, wherein said second security level is more restrictive than said first security level.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions, for performing a method comprising:

• applying a security profile to a driver interface of a storage drive of a storage array in order to control access of a computing device to said storage drive;
• setting said storage drive at a first security level;
• detecting a triggering event, wherein said triggering event is indicative of corruption or malfunction of said storage drive;
• and
• upon detection of said triggering event, setting said storage drive at a second security level, wherein said second security level is more restrictive than said first security level.
