Abstract
Techniques are provided for access control using user behavior profiles and storage system-based multi-factor authentication. One method comprises obtaining a behavior profile for a user; obtaining an input/output request from the user; determining whether the input/output request exhibits anomalous user behavior relative to the behavior profile; initiating a multi-factor authentication of the user in response to the input/output request exhibiting anomalous user behavior to obtain a verification result; and processing the input/output request based at least in part on the verification result. The behavior profile for the user may be obtained by obtaining behavioral information from the user and/or monitoring a plurality of input/output requests of the user to learn at least a portion of the behavior profile for the user. The multi-factor authentication may comprise an out-of-band authorization request (e.g., to approve the input/output request) sent to a user associated with the input/output request.
