Abstract
Systems, methods, and related technologies for device classification are described. In certain aspects, one or more properties are selected based on associated respective ranks. The selected one or more properties are used with information associated with the device to determine a classification. The classification may then be stored.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- selecting a device communicatively coupled to a network;
- accessing a plurality of device properties;
- determining a rank for each of the plurality of device properties based on a scalability of each device property, wherein the respective rank associated with the one or more properties is based on a score function that computes a weighted sum of the scalability and an effectiveness of each device property;
- selecting one or more device properties from the plurality of device properties based on a respective associated rank of the one or more device properties;
- accessing information associated with the device based on the selected one or more device properties;
- determining a classification associated with the device based on the information associated with the device and the selected one or more device properties;
- storing the classification associated with the device;
- and
- performing an action based on the classification, wherein the action includes at least one of a remediation action, an informational action, or a logging action.

A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:
- select a device communicatively coupled to a network;
- access a plurality of device properties;
- determine a rank for each of the plurality of device properties based on a scalability of each device property, wherein the respective rank associated with the one or more properties is based on a score function that computes a weighted sum of the scalability and an effectiveness of each device property;
- select one or more device properties from the plurality of device properties based on a respective associated rank of the one or more device properties;
- access information associated with the device based on the selected one or more device properties;
- determine a classification associated with the device based on the information associated with the device and the selected one or more device properties;
- store the classification associated with the device;
- and
- perform an action based on the classification wherein the action includes at least one or a remediation action, an informational action, or a logging action.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- select a device communicatively coupled to a network;
- access a plurality of device properties;
- determine a rank for each of the plurality of device properties based on a scalability of each device property, wherein the respective rank associated with the one or more properties is based on a score function that computes a weighted sum of the scalability and an effectiveness of each device property;
- select one or more device properties from the plurality of device properties based on a respective associated rank of the one or more device properties;
- access information associated with the device based on the selected one or more device properties;
- determine, by a processing device, a classification associated with the device based on the information associated with the device and the selected one or more device properties;
- store the classification associated with the device;
- and
- perform an action based on the classification, wherein the action includes at least one of a remediation action, an informational action, or a logging action.
