Abstract
Methods and systems provide for preventing a false report of a compromised connection even though a security component receives an indication a connection is compromised, and the security component, by default, would report a compromised connection. In the method, the security component determines that captive portal authentication is enabled for a computing device. The security component requests a response from a server over a connection, with the response indicating that the connection is compromised. However, because captive portal authentication is enabled, the security component does not report the connection as being compromised.
