User interface for security protection and remote management of network endpoints
First Claim
1. A computing system comprising a hardware processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the computing system to:
- receive data from a remote server, the data selected by the server for transmission to the computing system according to a subscription associated with a network regulator protecting a plurality of client systems against computer security threats, wherein the plurality of client systems are connected to the network regulator over a local network; and
perform a display of a graphical user interface (GUI) of a device administration application according to the data, the GUI configured to;
generate at least one device management view enabling a user of the computing system to remotely configure a client system of the plurality of client systems by selecting a device group from a predetermined plurality of device groups to indicate a membership of the client system in the selected device group, wherein members of each device group have group-specific values of configuration parameters; and
generate at least one security notification view displaying an indicator of a computer security event caused by an action of the client system,wherein the network regulator is configured, in response to connecting to a router providing a service of supplying local network addresses to the plurality of client systems, to automatically take over the service of supplying local network addresses from the router.

Abstract
In some embodiments, a network regulator device protects a local network of client systems (e.g. Internet-of-things devices such as smartphones, home appliances, wearables, etc.) against computer security threats. Various aspects of the operation of the network regulator may be managed remotely via a graphical user interface (GUI) executing on an administration device, such as a mobile phone. The GUI is further configured to display a security notification to a user of the administration device, the security notification indicating the occurrence of a security event caused by an action of a protected client system.
