Method for associating assets in computer network with asset catalog
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240039730A1) describes a method for associating assets related to events detected in a computer network with assets in an asset catalog. The method involves using a computer processor to monitor network activity, obtain information about events, generate signatures of assets, apply a hashing technique to create hashed signatures, and associate assets based on these signatures. The process aims to efficiently identify and link assets within the network based on their network addressing information.
Furthermore, the method includes various techniques such as generating numeric representations of network addressing information, applying locality sensitive hashing (LSH) techniques, and utilizing machine learning models for processing. The system described in the patent application involves computer hardware processors and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums to execute the method. The goal is to streamline the association of assets in a computer network, enabling efficient identification and management of assets based on network activity and event detection. This innovation could potentially enhance asset tracking, security measures, and policy enforcement within computer networks.
