Abstract
In one aspect, a computerized method for heuristic-based classification of software discovered connected devices, comprising: implementing a discovery process on a set of devices and obtain a set of attributes of each device; identify a set of heuristics, wherein the set of heuristics combines an attribute from each discovered asset of the set of devices with an associated weight; comparing the attribute from each asset and the device catalog and using the weight to determine a partial match score; using the set of heuristics to reduce a search space used to identify the candidates for a friendly name of each device; and calculating a dot product of the weight of each of the heuristics and using the dot product to identify a set of candidate devices in the device catalog.
