Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for dynamic network classification using authenticated neighbor detection. An example includes a network comparator to determine whether a network to be connected by a computing device is a managed network based on network configuration information associated with the network, in response to determining the network is not a managed network, a neighbor comparator to determine a number of different computing devices on the network that are managed computing devices, and in response to determining that the number of the managed computing devices satisfies a threshold, a sensor controller to invoke a sensor of the computing device to obtain data from computing devices associated with the network, the computing devices including the managed computing devices.
