Device fingerprinting involves collecting distinctive characteristics of a device, such as its operating system, hardware, and network configurations, to uniquely identify and classify it. This process helps in tracking devices, assessing their vulnerabilities, and managing security policies. Other methods like asset tagging and MAC address filtering also help in tracking devices but do not provide the comprehensive profile needed for effective vulnerability management.
