During discovery process, the service tries to find as many computers within an IP Address range as possible. The user provides an Internet IP Address name (such as “YourOrganizationName.com”) or specifies exactly which IP Addresses to test, then COMPLYSHIELD uses the IP Address’s DNS (Name Server) and network IP address range information. COMPLYSHIELD performs a full sweep of IP addresses and fingerprinting of hosts to characterize all devices found.
