Systems and methods for establishing a confidence level for device operational data

A system for establishing a confidence level for local operational data of a device within an ecosystem, the system comprising:

• a local data source configured to maintain local operational data for the device;
• a communication interface;
• and
• a processor that is operably connected to the communication interface and the local data source;
• wherein the system is configured to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining, from a publicly available source, operational data related to the device;
• storing the operational data as local operational data in the local data source;
• obtaining, using the communication interface, a plurality of messages from a plurality of external devices participating in the ecosystem, wherein each of the plurality of messages comprises external operational data corresponding to a respective external device;
• comparing the external operational data from each message of the plurality of messages to the stored local operational data to determine a deviation between the stored local operational data and the external operational data from each message;
• in response to determining that the deviation for a message exceeds a tolerance value, incrementing a deviation counter based on the deviation;
• determining, using the processor and based on the deviation counter, a confidence level for the local operational data;
• and
• executing a remedial action when the confidence level falls below a threshold for the confidence level.
