Claim 14:
15. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving a request to perform an operation for a storage system;
determining that the requested operation is associated with a policy that requires a quorum of approvals before being allowed to be performed;
tracking a timer for the quorum of approvals;
determining, using a cloud-based management system remote from the storage system, that the quorum of approvals has not been obtained within a time period tracked using the timer;
logging in a log an indication that the requested operation is denied;
analyzing denied operations in the log to determine that anomalous behavior has occurred, wherein the anomalous behavior is determined to have occurred in response to determining that the operation has been requested more than a threshold number of times within the time period without obtaining the quorum of approvals; and
in response to determining that anomalous behavior has occurred, providing a notification to an administrator.
