Abstract
In some examples, a system receives information from electronic devices comprising network devices and computing devices in a computing environment that are subject to attestations of interfaces of the network devices and the computing devices. For each interface of a given computing device being attested, the system verifies that the interface of the given computing device is connected to an interface of a corresponding network device that is being attested. For each interface of a given network device being attested, the system verifies that the interface of the given network device is connected to an interface of a corresponding computing device that is being attested or an interface of another network device that is being attested. The system detects a presence of an unauthorized electronic device in the computing environment in response to determining that an interface of a computing device being attested or an interface of a network device being attested is not connected to a corresponding interface of an electronic device being attested.
