Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for tracking the migration of objects to determine whether to perform a network based check. In operation, an object is identified. Furthermore, a first security niche associated with the object is determined. Additionally, it is determined if the object is migrating from the first security niche to a second security niche. Still yet, a network based security check is conditionally performed if it is determined the object is migrating from the first security niche to the second security niche.
