A mechanism for ensuring security even when there is a possibility that an information processing apparatus capable of being operated from an external device via a network is connected to a global network. An information processing apparatus has a NIC section for connection a network, and can be remotely operated from an external device connected to the network. A CPU determines whether the network to which the NIC section is connected is a local network. If it is determined that the network to which the NIC is connected is not a local network, the CPU restrict remote operation from the external device.
