Abstract
A system may include a plurality of storage systems each configured to operate in accordance with a synchronous replication configuration in which a dataset is synchronously replicated to each of the plurality of storage systems such that each of the plurality of storage systems stores and continually updates a different copy of the dataset. Each of the storage systems may be configured to independently monitor, while operating in accordance with the synchronous replication configuration, for security threats against one of the copies of the dataset; and perform, when the monitoring indicates that the one of the copies of the dataset is possibly being targeted by a security threat, a remedial action with respect to the security threat.
