1. A network security method, comprising the steps of:

receiving a first plurality of network flows in an initial communication from a first electronic device;

generating a first device communication model for the first electronic device based on the received first plurality of network flows;

obtaining one or more additional communications from the first electronic device, wherein the one or more additional communications includes a received second plurality of network flows;

categorizing the received second plurality of network flows based on the generated first device communication model; and

controlling access of the first electronic device to an external electronic network according to a result from the step of categorizing,

wherein each network flow of the first and second plurality of network flows includes a sequence of packets, and

wherein each packet of the sequence of packets has the same tuple as other packets within the sequence of packets.
