Abstract
Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and security management computing devices are disclosed herein. With this technology, an executable code is sent to a client. The executable code is configured to obtain information associated with the client, assemble the information into a fingerprint, and return the fingerprint. A determination is made when the fingerprint is returned from the client. When the determining indicates that the fingerprint has been returned, a determination is made when a record of a reputation database matches the fingerprint. Historical data in the record is updated to include information associated with the request and an action is initiated based on the historical data or other data included in the record. The action includes blocking an access request or providing access to a requested resource to the client, when the determining indicates that the record of the reputation database matches the fingerprint.
