Abstract
Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture comprising processor-readable storage media are provided for detecting anomalies in a computing system based on power consumption of network devices of the computing system. For example, a method includes receiving power consumption data from a computing device operating within a network, wherein the power consumption data indicates reported power usage by the computing device operating within the network, processing the power consumption data to detect anomalous behavior of the computing device operating in the network, and preventing the computing device from transmitting data within the network, when anomalous behavior of the computing device is detected.
