Computer-based systems for an intelligent identification of computing services and categories of services in use within a plurality of computing networks and methods of use thereof

A network device, comprising:

• a memory that stores instructions;
• and
• a processor that executes the instructions to cause the processor to be configured to:
• inspect, by utilizing at least one agent, network traffic associated with at least one service requested by at least one device in communication with the network device;
• distinguish between a plurality of encrypted data packets in a first portion of the network traffic and a plurality of unencrypted data packets in a second portion of the network traffic,
• determine, based on comparing the plurality of unencrypted data packets in the first portion to a service identification list, a first type of the at least one service, a first category for the at least one service, or a combination thereof associated with the plurality of unencrypted data packets in the first portion,
• use at least one machine learning model configured to identify data patterns in the plurality of encrypted data packets in the second portion of the network traffic, and determine a second type of the at least one service, a second category for the at least one service, or any combination thereof, associated with the plurality of encrypted data packets in the second portion;
• provide, by utilizing the at least one agent, an identification of the first type of the at least one service, the second type of the at least one service, the first category for the at least one service, the second category for the at least one service, or any combination thereof, to a service provider associated with the network device;
• and
• provision, via the service provider and to the at least one device, network services corresponding to the first type of the at least one service, the second type of the at least one service, the first category for the at least one service, the second category for the at least one service, or any combination thereof.

A method, comprising:

• analyzing, by a processor of a backend server utilizing at least one agent on a network device, network traffic associated with at least one service requested by at least one device;
• distinguishing, by the processor, between a plurality of encrypted data packets and a plurality of unencrypted data packets in the network traffic;
• when a first portion of the network traffic comprises the plurality of unencrypted data packets:
• comparing, by the processor, the plurality of unencrypted data packets in the network traffic associated with the at least one service to a service identification list;
• determining, by the processor, based on comparing the plurality of unencrypted data packets of the network traffic to the service identification list, a first type of the at least one service, a first category for the at least one service, or any combination thereof, associated with the plurality of unencrypted data packets;
• when a second portion of the network traffic comprises the plurality of encrypted data packets:
• converting, by the processor, data payloads of the plurality of encrypted data packets respectively into a plurality of greyscale images;
• inputting, by the processor, the plurality of greyscale images into at least one machine learning model that is trained to:
• recognize data patterns in the plurality of encrypted data packets using pixel values associated with each of the plurality of greyscale images and
• determine, based on the data patterns, a second type of the at least one service, a second category for the at least one service, or any combination thereof, associated with the plurality of encrypted data packets;
• providing, by the processor, an identification of the first type of the at least one service, the second type of the at least one service, the first category for the at least one service, the second category for the at least one service, or any combination thereof, to a service provider associated with the network device;
• and
• providing, by the processor, via the service provider and to the at least one device, network services corresponding to the first type of the at least one service, the second type of the at least one service, the first category for the at least one service, the second category for the at least one service, or any combination thereof.
