Systems and methods for managing network security events with the assistance of augmented reality are provided. According to one embodiment, a reality image of a network object is captured by an augmented reality device. The network object is identified from the reality image by the augmented reality device. Dynamic network security information is received by the augmented reality device from a network security appliance associated with a network that is managing the network object. An augmented overlay image is generated by the augmented reality device based on the reality image and the dynamic network security information. The augmented overlay image is displayed by the augmented reality device.
