Abstract
A system for automatically discovering services operating on a network including a service discovery database configured to store expected service behavioral characteristics and service identities of the services operating on the network, a set of service discovery modules configured to collect service behavioral data of the services operating on the network, and a service discovery module controller communicatively coupled to the service discovery module database and the set of service discovery modules, the service discovery module controller configured to generate service behavioral characteristics from the service behavioral data, analyze the service behavioral characteristics using the expected service behavioral characteristics, resulting in a first behavioral analysis, identify a first service identity of at least one service operating on the network from the first behavioral analysis and an association of the first service identity and the expected service behavioral characteristics.
