Abstract
In one embodiment, a classification device in a computer network analyzes data from a given device in the computer network, and classifies the given device as a particular type of device based on the data. The classification device may then determine whether a manufacturer usage description (MUD) policy exists for the particular type of device. In response to there being no existing MUD policy for the particular type of device, the classification device may then determine patterns of the analyzed data, classify the patterns into context-based policies, and generate a derived MUD policy for the particular type of device based on the context-based policies. The classification device may then apply one of either the existing or derived MUD policy for the given device within the computer network.
