Abstract: Technology described herein determines whether a device is Internet facing. An Internet facing device is a device where traffic coming from the Internet is routable to the device. The technology described herein may comprise two components that work together to identify Internet-facing devices. The first component is a monitoring agent installed on organizational devices. The second component is an Internet-facing management service, which may be cloud based. The monitoring agent communicates connection-event notices to the Internet-facing management service. The source IP address in the connection-event notice is compared to a list of organizational IP addresses. If the source IP address is not on the list, then the computing device associated with the notice is added to a list of Internet-facing devices because the connection originated from the Internet. Software listed in the connection-event notice may be added to a list of internet-facing software instances.
