Techniques are described for taking direct actions, such as selectively blocking or allowing traffic and applications, while monitoring events from a graphical representation of threats. As such, the administrator in an enterprise interacts with the graphical representation of threats rendered by the security management system to automatically invoke a policy/rule module of the security management system to configure and update security policies for the security devices deployed throughout the computer networks of the enterprise. An administrator may, for example, interact with the representation of threats rendered by the threat control module based on the data aggregated from the distributed security devices and, responsive to the interaction, the security management system may identify a relevant set of the security devices, automatically construct security policies having ordered rules within the policies for the identified set of security devices, and automatically communicate and install the policies in the identified set of security devices.

Embodiments visualize the execution of a disaster recovery plan. During a transfer of computing nodes from a source site to a target site, a map user interface (UI) is displayed. The map UI includes a first region corresponding to the geographic location of the source site and a second region corresponding to the geographic location of the target site. An animated progress indicator representing termination of computing nodes at the source site is displayed in the first region. Simultaneously, another animated progress indicator representing initiation of computing nodes at the target site, and further representing a reverse animation of the other animated progress indicator, is displayed in the second region.
