These devices are newly detected by Zenarmor and may still be undergoing identification analysis.

Figure 3. Viewing Newly Detected Devices List

You may view the details of each device by clicking on them individually. In most cases, you will see a message indicating that Initial identification in progress on the details page of a recently discovered device. That means Zenarmor has not yet finalized the procedure for device identification. Consequently, certain fields of the device's information, such as category, operating system, and hardware vendor, might be inaccurate, and Zenarmor may update them autonomously in the future.

Devices first seen within the last 48 hours may display the Initial identification in progress* message.
