Hashing techniques for associating assets related to events with addressable computer network assets

A system for verifying correctness of associations between assets related to events detected in at least one computer network and assets in an asset catalog for the at least one computer network, the asset catalog assets being addressable on the at least one computer network, the system comprising:

• at least one computer hardware processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one computer hardware processor, cause the at least one computer hardware processor to perform a method comprising:
• generating a signature of a first asset, previously associated with a first set of one or more assets in the asset catalog, from information about an event related to the first asset, the information specifying computer network addressing information for the first asset;
• generating, using the signature of the first asset, a hashed signature of the first asset by applying a locality sensitive hashing (LSH) technique to the signature of the first asset;
• associating the first asset with a second set of one or more assets in the asset catalog using the hashed signature of the first asset and at least one hashed signature of the at least one asset in the asset catalog;
• determining whether the second set of assets includes the first set of assets;
• and
• when it is determined that the second set of assets includes the first set of assets, outputting an indication that the first asset was correctly associated with the first set of assets.
