Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the invention improve the detection of malicious software applications, such as a rootkit, on hosts configured to access storage volumes over a storage area network (SAN). A rootkit detection program running on a switch may be configured to detect rootkits present on the storage volumes of the SAN. Because the switch may mount and access storage volumes independently from the (possibly comprised) hosts, the rootkit is not able to conceal itself from the rootkit detection program running on the switch.
