SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY FOR PROVIDING INDIRECT ACCESS CONTROL

A system providing methods for indirect access control is described. When an attempt to access a network by a first application is detected, a determination is made as to whether at least one other application is attempting indirect network access through the first application. If at least one other application is determined to be attempting indirect network access, each such other application is evaluated to determine if it is approved for network access. If each such other application is approved for network access, access to the network is permitted. Otherwise, access to the network is denied.
