Abstract

A page list comprising a list of transitions between network resources is established. Subsequently, a transition is detected between a first network resource and a second network resource. An expected security level associated with the transition is identified based on the page list. Responsive to the detected security level being determined to be lower than the expected security level, a remedial action is performed.
