Storage System-based Enhancement of a Network Monitoring Service that Monitors for Anomalous Outgoing Network Traffic from Within a Managed Network

Abstract: an illustrative method includes monitoring, by a storage system, one or more operations performed by a host with respect to data stored within a storage system, the host and the storage system operating within an environment bounded by a managed network; detecting, by the storage system based on the monitoring, an anomaly associated with the one or more operations; and sending, by the storage system based on the detecting the anomaly, metadata descriptive of the anomaly to a network monitoring system configured to perform a network monitoring service with respect to outgoing network traffic from the managed network, wherein the metadata is usable by the network monitoring system to perform the network traffic monitoring service.
