Abstract
A method, in one approach, includes: representing a set of volumes in a storage system as vectors of characteristics in a multi-dimensional vector space. The vectors are used to identify subsets of the volumes having similar characteristics. Moreover, the subsets of volumes are clustered into respective common groups of volumes. The common groups of volumes are further identified in the multi-dimensional vector space. The method also includes tracking, in the multi-dimensional vector space, the similar characteristics of the respective common groups of volumes. Furthermore, ransomware detection is performed on the common groups of volumes.
