(57) : Described systems and methods enable an automatic device detection/discovery, particularly of 'Internet of Things' N client devices such as wearables, mobile communication devices, and smart home appliances, among others. Device detection com- prises assigning a target device to a device category, such as \"tablet computer from an unknown manufacturer, running Android®\". N Some embodiments determine multiple preliminary category assignments according to distinct inputs such as HTTP user agent data, O DHCP data, mDNS data, and MAC data. Each preliminary category assignment may come with an associated score. A definitive cat - ,-..f . egory assignment may be made according to an aggregate score. Applications include computer security, software provisioning, and remote device management, among others.
