    Abstract: In various embodiments, a device classification service clusters devices in a network into a device type cluster based on attributes associated with the devices. The device classification service tracks changes to the device type cluster over time. The device classification service detects an attack on the device classification service by one or more of the devices based on the tracked changes to the device type cluster. The device classification service initiates a mitigation action for the detected attack on the device classification service.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device classification service receives data indicative of network traffic policies assigned to a plurality of device types. The device classification service associates measures of policy restrictiveness with the device types, based on the received data indicative of the network traffic policies assigned to the plurality of device types. The device classification service determines misclassification costs associated with a machine learning-based device type classifier of the service misclassifying an endpoint device of one of the plurality device types with another of the plurality of device types, based on their associated measures of policy restrictiveness. The device classification service adjusts the machine learning-based device type classifier to account for the determined misclassification costs.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service receives a plurality of device type classification rules, each rule comprising a device type label and one or more device attributes used as criteria for application of the label to a device in a network. The service estimates, across a space of the device attributes, device densities of devices having device attributes at different points in that space. The service uses the estimated device densities to identify two or more of the device type classification rules as having overlapping device attributes. The service determines that the two or more device type classification rules are in conflict, based on the two or more rules having different device type labels. The service generates a rule conflict resolution that comprises one of the device type labels from the conflicting two or more device type classification rules.
