Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for generating a security profile for a new computing system. One example method generally includes obtaining, over a network, information associated with a plurality of existing computing systems and generating, by a clustering algorithm, a set of clusters based on the information associated with the plurality of existing computing systems. The method further includes obtaining external data associated with the computing system and classifying the computing system into a cluster in the set of clusters based on the external data associated with the computing system. The method further includes determining the security profile based on statistics associated with the cluster and transmitting, over the network, an indication of the security profile.
