Increasing security of a device and/or system via questioning about a characteristic of the device and/or system

1. A method for preventing unauthorized access to and/or modification of a page of a device and/or system, the method comprising:

presenting a question via a graphical user interface, wherein an answer to the question includes a characteristic of the device and/or system;

receiving a response to the question;

allowing access to and/or modification of the page in response to determining that the response to the question includes the answer;

not allowing access to and/or modification of the page in response to determining that the response to the question does not include the answer; and

providing a different question in response to determining that the response to the question does not include the answer, wherein an answer to the different question includes a different characteristic of the device and/or system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic of the device and/or system is a physical characteristic.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic of the device and/or system is obtainable to a user of the device and/or system by inspection of the device and/or system, wherein the response to the question is received from a user viewing the graphical user interface.

4. The method of claim 1 , comprising generating the question in response to an access and/or modification request for the page.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the system is a data storage system.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic is ascertainable by visually inspecting the device and/or system, the page including a collection of data about the device and/or system.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is performed during a security audit.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic is ascertainable by visually inspecting the device and/or system, the page including a collection of data about the device and/or system.

9. A computer program product for preventing unauthorized access to and/or modification of a page of a device and/or system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se the program code readable and/or executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

present a question via a graphical user interface, wherein an answer to the question includes a characteristic of the device and/or system;

receive a response to the question;

allow access to and/or modification of the page in response to determining that the response to the question includes the answer; and

not allow access to and/or modification of the page in response to determining that the response to the question does not include the answer,

wherein modification of a field on the page is permitted while the page is being output, wherein application of the modification is only permitted when the response to the question includes the answer.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the characteristic of the device and/or system is a physical characteristic.

11. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the characteristic of the device and/or system is obtainable to a user of the device and/or system by inspection of the device and/or system.

12. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the characteristic is ascertainable by visually inspecting the device and/or system, the page including a collection of data about the device and/or system.

13. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the program code readable and/or executable by the processor further causes the processor to: generate the question in response to an access and/or modification request for the page.

14. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the system is a data storage system.

15. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the computer program product is performed during a security audit.

16. A system, comprising:

a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor, the logic being configured to:

present a question via a graphical user interface, wherein an answer to the question includes a characteristic of a device and/or system;

receive a response to the question;

allow access to and/or modification of a page when the response to the question includes the answer;

not allow access to and/or modification of the page when the response to the question does not include the answer; and

provide a different question when the response to the question does not include the answer, wherein an answer to the different question includes a different physical characteristic of the device and/or system.

17. The system of claim 16 , the different physical characteristic being ascertainable by visually inspecting the device and/or system, the page including a collection of data about the device and/or system.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein modification of a field on the page is permitted while the page is being output, wherein application of the modification is only permitted when the response to the question includes the answer.
