TLDR
In this article, out-of-band information from a storage area network (SAN) device is analyzed to identify a vulnerability in the SAN and the analysis can be conducted by a policy-based data path analyzer device.Abstract:
Characterizing a storage area network (SAN). Out-of-band information can be received from a SAN device. The information describes a SAN device type to which the SAN device belongs. Out-of-band information is received from the SAN device describing a performance characteristic of the SAN device. Relationships between the SAN device and other devices within the SAN are identified based on the out-of-band information received. The out-of-band information received is analyzed to identify a vulnerability in the SAN. In-band-data can also be received and analyzed to identify the vulnerability. The analysis can be conducted by a policy based data path analyzer device. Automated provisioning can be conducted based on the vulnerability identified.read more
