Beginning with ONTAP 9.15.1, administrators can configure and enable dynamic authorization to increase security of remote access to ONTAP while also mitigating potential damage that could be caused by a malicious actor. With ONTAP 9.15.1, dynamic authorization provides an initial framework for assigning a security score to users and, if their activity looks suspicious, challenging them with additional authorization checks or denying an operation completely. Administrators can create rules, assign trust scores, and restrict commands to determine when certain activity is allowed or denied for a user. Administrators can enable dynamic authorization cluster-wide or for individual storage VMs.
