Real Time Intrusion Detection (RTID) is implemented on a host computer by defining an Atypical Access Rate Detection (AARD) policy specifying storage volume access parameters configured to protect particular storage volumes maintained by a storage system for the host computer. An AARD application on the storage system monitors storage volume accesses based on the AARD policy. If a storage volume access is detected that is in violation of the AARD policy, the RTID application on the host computer is notified of the storage volume access. The RTID application on the host determines if the storage volume access was authorized or malicious. If the storage volume access was authorized, the RTID application re-issues the storage volume access and instructs the AARD application that the storage volume access is authorized. If the storage volume access was not authorized, the RTID application prevents the storage volume access to protect the storage volume.
