Abstract
A computer-implemented method for monitoring the activity of devices within an organization by leveraging data generated by an existing security solution deployed within the organization may include (1) identifying, at a reputation service configured to service reputation requests, at least one external IP address associated with an organization, (2) identifying, within the reputation requests serviced by the reputation service, a plurality of reputation requests that originated from the external IP address associated with the organization, (3) generating, based at least in part on an analysis of the reputation requests that originated from the external IP address associated with the organization, at least one report for the organization that identifies the activity of devices within the organization, and (4) providing the report to the organization to enable the organization to monitor the activity of the devices within the organization. Corresponding systems and encoded computer-readable media are also disclosed.
