A first value for an attribute of the device is determined based on a rule applied to the one or more features of the device, wherein a belief value for the first rule is associated with the first value. A final value for the attribute of the device is selected based on the first belief value for the first value of the attribute. An explanation of the selection of the final value for the attribute is provided and a security action is performed on the entity based on the final value for the attribute of the entity and a security policy associated with the final value for the attribute.
