Abstract
Embodiments of methods and/or systems to authorize access to stored data are disclosed herein. When a data access request is detected by an agent executing on a first device, the agent determines whether the data access request is authorized based on at least one rule associated with a security policy on the first device. If the agent determines that the data access request is authorized, then the data access request is transmitted to a second device. Subsequently, an application executing on the second device, then determines whether the presence of an agent on the first device is required to forward the data access request to a data storage system. This determination is based on statistical information associated with data access of the data storage system. If it is determined that the presence of the agent is required, the second device then determines whether the agent is present and forwards the data to the agent if the agent is present.
