A system and method are disclosed for detecting rogue devices and implementing security measures on a communications network in a persistent manner. The system includes network monitoring devices that are connected to one or more communications networks. The overall process of the method begins by performing network and device discovery with the network monitoring devices. Each discovered device is classified if the network and device discovery is performed. Discovered devices are authenticated if the discovered device is classified as a supported device. Discovered devices are designated as unclassified devices if the discovered devices are not classified. A device risk level is assigned to each unclassified device. Security countermeasures are performed if the discovered devices are classified as unauthorized devices, or if the designated device risk level of the unclassified device exceeds a risk level threshold. Several iterations are performed to facilitate the persistent monitoring of the target communications networks.
