Abstract
A security information handling system (IHS) receives a request to navigate to a webpage, such as a link, from a user IHS. A security IHS link analysis tool analyzes the link and determines if the link contains sensitive content. The security IHS link analysis tool transmits a network selection message to the user IHS indicating which network the user IHS should utilize based upon the content of the link.
