Abstract
There is disclosed in one example a computing apparatus, including: a hardware platform including a processor and a memory; a network interface to communicatively couple to a network; and a network gateway engine to identify devices on the network, the network gateway engine including instructions encoded within the memory to instruct the processor to provide two-phase identification for a device newly-identified on the network, including: a static identification phase including applying discovery probes to the newly-identified device; and a dynamic identification phase including collecting network telemetry for the newly-identified device over time and analyzing the collected network telemetry to determine if the network telemetry is consistent with expected network usage for the newly-discovered device.
