Abstract
A system includes local area network (LAN) devices in communication with network devices external to the LAN. An agent in the LAN examines traffic between LAN devices and external devices. The agent executes scans of the LAN devices, generates fingerprint and telemetry data for the LAN devices, and sends the telemetry data and the fingerprint data to a cloud server external to the LAN. The cloud server receives telemetry data and fingerprint data and updates a device attribute database with fingerprints and/or device profiles for the LAN devices to identify anomalous behavior of the LAN devices.
