A data service periodically monitors parameters of a computing system and periodically transmits metrics related to the monitored parameters to an AI service over a secure channel. The AI service uses a Time Series Classification model trained on training data that results from simulated row-hammer attacks to a computing system. The AI service processes the metrics using the trained Time Series Classification model. If the Time Series Classification model determines that the received metrics correspond to a row-hammer attack, the AI services transmits an attack confirmation message to the computing the data service. A remediation action is implemented responsive to receiving the attack confirmation message.

Techniques for determining an impact that a congested switch port is having on a network and for estimating a reason as to why the congested switch port is congested are disclosed. Configuration data and performance data from a network are obtained. Based on the configuration data, a shortest path between a storage port and a host port is identified. A particular switch port is also identified as a result of that port being congested. An impact as to how the switch port, due to its congestion in the particular shortest path, is impacting or is being impacted by other switch ports in the network is determined. An alert, which includes information indicating the impact, is triggered.

Boot integrity of a storage platform is verified by comparing observed boot data values with expected boot data values stored in a secure remote cloud. The boot data values include hashes of software that runs at each stage of a boot sequence, e.g., BIOS, bootloader, kernel, and runlevel programs. The observed boot data values may be provided by a TPM using an AIK and nonce. If the observed boot data values fail to match the expected boot data values then a boot integrity service running on the storage platform limits functionality such as by disabling IO services, disabling remote data replication, enabling a diagnostic service, enabling a data collection service, disabling access by non-service accounts, and protecting a management database.
