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 software being performed via type information of the device based on a scan of the network and data associated with the device; generating a type label for the device based on the software being performed; and generating, by the processor, 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 type label so as to facilitate causing at least one security action with respect to the device within the network.
