Abstract
An apparatus comprises at least one processing device that includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The at least one processing device is configured to receive storage access protocol commands directed by one or more host devices to storage devices of a storage system over a storage area network, to generate statistics relating to the received storage access protocol commands, to process the generated statistics in a machine learning system trained to recognize anomalous access patterns to the storage devices over the storage area network, and to generate an alert indicative of an access anomaly based at least in part on the processing of the generated statistics in the machine learning system. A multi-path input-output (MPIO) driver of the one or more host devices may be provided with the alert and configured to initiate one or more remediation actions responsive to the alert.
