Patent number: 11086995Abstract: Malware scanning for network-attached storage systems is provided herein. A data storage system as described herein can include a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can include a file identification component that obtains an identifier for a target file stored by the data storage system; a lookup component that searches a scan status data structure for a malware scan result corresponding to the identifier for the target file; and a file access component that grants access to the target file in response to the lookup component obtaining the malware scan result from the scan status data structure and the malware scan result indicating that the target file contains no malware.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Shiv Shankar Kumar, Jai Prakash Gahlot, Amit Kumar Chauhan

Patent number: 11086994Abstract: Priority scanning of files written by malicious users in a data storage system is described herein. A data storage system as described herein can include a user lookup component that obtains identities of users that have made at least one modification to a first file stored on the data storage system, resulting in a set of modifying users; a comparison component that compares respective modifying users of the set of modifying users to respective malicious users of a set of malicious users; and a scan priority component that, in response to the comparison component identifying at least one match between a modifying user of the set of modifying users and a malicious user of the set of malicious users, assigns a first scan priority to the first file that is higher than a second scan priority assigned to a second, different file stored on the data storage system.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Jai Prakash Gahlot, Amit Kumar Chauhan, Shiv Shankar Kumar
