Abstract
A method may include receiving data from a device within a network, wherein the data is associated with one or more features of the device, and determining a subset of the features of the device that is associated with a runtime behavior of the device. The method may also perform a univariate analysis on a feature dataset that is associated with the subset of the features of the device, perform a multivariate analysis on the feature dataset that is associated with correlated features in the subset of the features, and generate a device signature based on the univariate analysis and the multivariate analysis. The method may also generate a predictive model based on the device signature, wherein the predictive model is trained on historical data of devices in the network, generate a device profile based on the predictive model that may be used to determine a device type and the runtime behavior of the device, and determine a segment of the network associated with the device based on the device type and the runtime behavior of the device.
