A storage device comprising a memory, a controller, and a host interface operative to connect with a host. The memory contains data locations that are controllable by a protection application which is executable on a host. When the host interface is operatively coupled to a host, data locations in the memory are accessible to an operating system of the host under permission from the protection application. The controller communicates with the protection application running on the host for allowing the protection application access to data locations in the memory. Upon a host request for access to a data location, the controller determines if permission to access the requested data location is acquired from the protection application. The permission is based on a determination by the protection application that the data location does not contain malicious data.
