Systems and methods for detecting and locating unsecured sensors in a network
A system, method and non-transitory computer readable medium for detecting unsecured sensors in a network. A computing system can find an IP address associated with an unsecured sensor based on a port through which the unsecured sensor communicates with the network. The computing system can ascertain a prefix route associated with the IP address for the unsecured sensor based on a portion of the IP address. The computing system can determine geographic coordinate data associated with the prefix route. The computing system can identify location data of a set of facilities within a specified geographic radius of the geographic coordinate data. The computing system can associate the unsecured sensor with a first one of the facilities in the set of facilities based on a distance between geographic coordinate data and the location data associated with the first one of the facilities being less than a specified distance threshold.

5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the computing system includes a graphical user interface (GUI).
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the GUI is configured to render a geographic map on which the geographic coordinate data of the IP address and the location data of the set of facilities is overlaid.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the GUI is configured to render information associated with the set of facilities within the specified geographic radius of the geographic coordinate data.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the computing system receives input from the GUI indicating a type of sensor from which the port is derived.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing system finds an IP address associated with the unsecured sensor based on a port through which the unsecured sensor communicates with the network, a name of a manufacturer of the unsecured sensor, and a geographic region within which the unsecured sensor resides.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the computing system interfaces with a plurality of external systems to find the IP address associated with the unsecured sensor, the name of the manufacturer of the unsecured sensor and the geographic and the geographic region within which the unsecured sensor is located.
11. A method for detecting and locating unsecured sensors in a network, the method comprising:
finding, via a computing system in communication with a network, an IP address associated with an unsecured sensor based on a port through which the unsecured sensor communicates with the network;
