AI fingerprinting identifies IoT, unmanaged, and rogue devices. url: https://wartiva.com/platform/network-discovery.html updated: 2026-10-07 --- Next-Gen Network Discovery # Continuous Network Discovery and AI Device Fingerprinting Wartiva discovers every device on every network your endpoints join, from the office LAN to a remote worker's home Wi-Fi, and AI fingerprinting identifies IoT, unmanaged, and rogue devices without agents or credentials on them. Networks never hold still: by the time a traditional scan finishes, its results are already stale, and it only ever sees the segments it was pointed at. Meanwhile your laptops roam between home, office, and everywhere in between, and your servers sit exposed to lateral movement inside the LAN that perimeter tools never observe. You need continuous visibility that travels with every endpoint, wherever it goes. ## Assess & Discover Network Vulnerabilities Everywhere Wartiva installs on every endpoint and begins collecting data in seconds, providing protection wherever the endpoint travels. Identify exposure in the networks your endpoints connect to. ## Cloud-Run Sensors with Secure Application Encapsulation (SAE) SAE encapsulates network discovery traffic from sensors running in the cloud over a single mutual TLS (mTLS) connection each enrolled endpoint initiates when it connects home. Any TCP or UDP sensor can run in the cloud instead of on the endpoint, offloading the work from endpoint CPU while still reaching and inspecting every device on the endpoint's local network. You get full LAN visibility wherever your endpoints roam, without the performance cost of running probes on the machine itself. ## AI-Powered Device Fingerprinting Wartiva identifies every device on your networks without agents or credentials by passively combining multiple signals: DHCP fingerprints, multicast DNS advertisements, TCP/IP stack characteristics, open ports, and exposed network services. An AI model weighs these signals together to classify each device, identifying the unmanaged endpoints, IoT, and rogue devices that single-signal scanners miss. ## Always-On, Continuous Discovery Wartiva runs quietly in the background on every endpoint, continuously observing the networks around it instead of scanning in one-off bursts. With each observation it learns a little more about the devices on the network, building an ever-richer, always-current picture of your environment over time. ## Network Sensor Scopes Sensor Scopes give you precise control over where and how Wartiva discovers your networks. Filter by endpoint density, connection time, physical location, and networks. Secure Application Encapsulation (SAE) lets the Wartiva cloud run TCP and UDP network sensors inside each endpoint's LAN, routing packets through the endpoint, so network sensor compute runs in the cloud instead of on the endpoint. ## Related capabilities - [Vulnerability Management](https://wartiva.com/platform/vulnerability-management.html): See how weaknesses stack up across endpoints, apps, and home networks. - [Asset Geolocation](https://wartiva.com/platform/asset-geolocation.html): Tie every finding to a physical location, typically within 100 meters. - [Endpoint Performance](https://wartiva.com/platform/endpoint-performance.html): Zero-load queries and cloud-side processing keep your endpoints fast. ## Industries that rely on it - [Education](https://wartiva.com/solutions/education.html): Big-campus reach on a small-team budget. - [Energy & Critical Infrastructure](https://wartiva.com/solutions/energy.html): See the whole attack path, not single findings. - [Financial Services](https://wartiva.com/solutions/financial-services.html): PCI DSS scope followed your workforce home. - [Government & Public Sector](https://wartiva.com/solutions/government.html): Find prohibited hardware and prove where data resides. - [Healthcare & Life Sciences](https://wartiva.com/solutions/healthcare.html): Protect PHI at the kitchen table and on devices you can't put an agent on. - [Insurance](https://wartiva.com/solutions/insurance.html): Protect policyholder data wherever a claim is worked. - [Legal & Professional Services](https://wartiva.com/solutions/legal.html): Privilege is only as safe as the weakest Wi-Fi. - [Manufacturing & Industrial](https://wartiva.com/solutions/manufacturing.html): Inventory the plant floor without touching it. - [Retail & E-Commerce](https://wartiva.com/solutions/retail.html): Card data beyond the storefront, from POS to spare bedroom. - [Technology & SaaS](https://wartiva.com/solutions/technology.html): Guard the laptops holding the production keys. ## See your environment the way it really exists Wartiva is in early access.
