Abstract
In an enterprise network with a threat management facility that manages individual endpoints based on unique endpoint identifiers, each new compute instance connecting to the threat management facility (or other management resource) is compared to existing records. The threat management facility can then detect and remediate compute instances having duplicate identifiers in the enterprise network, for example by using a challenge-response protocol to uniquely identify each of the compute instances.
