Abstract
An illustrative method includes a data protection system determining that a total amount of read traffic and write traffic processed by a storage system during a time period exceeds a threshold, the read traffic representing data read from the storage system during the time period and the write traffic representing data written to the storage system during the time period, determining that the write traffic is less compressible than the read traffic, and determining, based on the total amount of read traffic and write traffic exceeding the threshold and on the write traffic being less compressible than the read traffic, that the storage system is possibly being targeted by a security threat.
