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. When introduced to the local network, some embodiments of network regulator take over some network services from a router, and automatically install the network regulator as gateway to the local network. The network regulator then carries out an automatic device discovery procedure and distribute device-specific utility agents to the protected client systems. An exemplary utility agent detects when its host device has left the local network, and in response, sets up a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel with a security server to maintain protection of the respective device.

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.

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. When introduced to the local network, some embodiments of network regulator automatically take over network services from an existing router, and install the network regulator as gateway to the local network. In response to taking over the network services, some embodiments redirect a request by a protected client system to access a remote resource to a security server configured to determine whether granting access to the resource constitutes a computer security threat to the client system.
