Abstract
Systems, methods, and related technologies for device classification are described. Methods include determining device information associated with a device coupled to a network, the device information including information obtained from one or more sources, classifying the device using the device information as input to a classifier, and applying a policy to the device based on the classification of the device.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- determining, by a processing device, device information associated with a device coupled to a network, wherein the device information comprises information obtained from one or more of a plurality of available sources;
- classifying, by the processing device, the device using the device information as input to a classifier;
- and
- applying a policy to the device based on the classification of the device.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:
- determine device information associated with a device coupled to a network, wherein the device information comprises information obtained from one or more of a plurality of available sources;
- classify the device using the device information as input to a classifier;
- and
- apply a policy to the device based on the classification of the device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions stored therein, that when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- determine device information associated with a device coupled to a network, wherein the device information comprises information obtained from one or more of a plurality of available sources;
- classify the device using the device information as input to a classifier;
- and
- apply a policy to the device based on the classification of the device.
