Device activation verification

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory in communication with the processor, the memory containing program instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
• detecting an activation of a networked device;
• obtaining a hazard score corresponding to a degree of hazard associated with the networked device;
• determining an activation confidence score corresponding to the activation of the networked device;
• determining, based at least in part on the hazard score and the activation confidence score, an adjusted activation confidence score;
• determining that the adjusted activation confidence score exceeds a threshold;
• and
• initiating a deactivation of the networked device in response to the determining that the adjusted confidence score exceeds the threshold.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• detecting an activation of a networked device;
• obtaining a hazard score corresponding to a degree of hazard associated with the networked device;
• determining an activation confidence score corresponding to the activation of the networked device;
• determining, based at least in part on the hazard score and the activation confidence score, an adjusted activation confidence score;
• determining that the adjusted activation confidence score exceeds a threshold;
• and
• initiating a deactivation of the networked device in response to the determining that the adjusted confidence score exceeds the threshold.
