Abstract
In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides an exemplary method that may include steps of obtaining data associated with a device within a network; determining a digital fingerprint via identification data of the device based on a scan of the network and data associated with the device by: comparing the identification data of the device to a plurality of devices within the, generating a unique identification code that uniquely identifies the device based on a similarity score for the device, and determining the unique identification code for the device based on the digital fingerprint; and generating a network security map that represents a topology of the network, wherein the network security map maps the device within the topology according to the unique identification code so as to facilitate causing at least one security action with respect to the device within the network.
