Patent 11765590 was granted and assigned to Sophos Limited on September, 2023 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for rogue device detection are described. A method may include identifying a device type of a device transmitting data over a network and obtaining one or more uniform resource locators (URLs) from the data, where the one or more URLs form a portion of a request transmitted over the network by the device. The method can also include programmatically analyzing the data to determine a pattern of network data within a given time period. The method can further include determining that the device is a rogue device if the pattern of network data deviates from a baseline pattern of the device type, or at least one of the one or more URLs matches one or more rogue URL criteria. The method can also include taking an action in response to determining the device is a rogue device to improve security of the network.
