Protect your business from data leaks with new Microsoft Edge feature
Microsoft Edge for Business has recently introduced new data leak control features. This is great news for keeping your sensitive information secure.
What are data leak control features? Simply put, these features help prevent your confidential information from falling into the wrong hands.
Imagine them as an extra lock on your digital doors, ensuring only the right people can access your vital data.
Every business deals with sensitive information, from financial records to client details and proprietary data. If this information leaks, it can lead to severe consequences: financial loss, legal issues, and damage to your reputation.
The new data leak control feature in Microsoft Edge ensures your data stays secure by allowing only authorised individuals to access it. It also prevents accidental sharing.
Depending on your industry, you might have stringent data protection regulations. These new controls can help you remain compliant with these regulations.
Moreover, your customers are increasingly aware of data privacy. Using a browser with robust data leak controls demonstrates your commitment to protecting their information, enhancing their trust in your business.
Microsoft Edge for Business has integrated this new feature into an easy-to-use package. You can establish policies on data sharing—such as preventing certain types of data from being copied or emailed to unauthorised recipients—minimising the risk of accidental leaks.
It employs artificial intelligence to detect potential threats and unusual data movements. Edge can alert you to a potential leak before it occurs, allowing you to take proactive measures.
If you’re already using other Microsoft products like 365 or Microsoft Teams, there’s more good news: Edge for Business integrates seamlessly with them, enabling consistent data protection across all your tools.
Ready to get started? Here’s how:
- Update your browser: Ensure all your business’s devices are using the latest version of Microsoft Edge for Business. This guarantees access to the newest features and security updates.
- Set your policies: Collaborate with your IT support partner to establish data sharing policies tailored to your business. Microsoft provides guidelines and templates to help you get started.
- Train your team: Educate your employees on the importance of data security and how to use the new features. A quick training session can be very effective.
