Description

ABSTRACT:
A method and system for determining whether to allow a network browser action when a transition occurs between security zones as a result of the action is provided. Gaining access to a local machine zone may be a goal for unauthorized entities attempting to improperly access a user's content. The present invention therefore may be initiated to block transitions from the security zones with stricter security restrictions to zones with less security restrictions. In addition, a selected alternative may be commenced depending on the relative weight of the security zones involved the zone transition. Depending on the relative weight of security zones, the transition between zones may be allowed, prevented, or the user may be prompted to decide whether to allow or prevent the action that results in the zone transition.
