Microsoft Edge for Business has just included additional data leak management features. And this might be a positive thing for protecting your sensitive information.
What are the data leak control capabilities?
In plain English, they help prevent your sensitive information from getting out to the wrong people. Consider it an extra lock on your digital doors, ensuring that only the appropriate persons have access to your sensitive information.
Each company deals with sensitive information, whether it’s financial records, customer information, or proprietary data. If this information leaks, it could mean big trouble: Financial loss, legal headaches, and a hit to your reputation.
This new feature in Microsoft Edge helps to keep your data secure by ensuring that only authorized users can access it. It also prevents unintentional sharing.
Depending on your sector, you may have strong data protection policies. These new controls can help you stay on the right side of regulations.
Don’t forget about your customers. They are more concerned than ever about data privacy. Using a browser with strong data leak protections demonstrates your commitment to protecting customer information, which can increase their trust in your company.
Microsoft Edge for Business has added this new feature into an easy-to-use package. You can set policies on how data can be shared – like stopping certain types of data from being copied or emailed to unauthorized recipients. This reduces the likelihood of unintentional leaks.
It uses artificial intelligence to detect possible risks and unusual data transfers. Edge can notify you of a possible leak before it occurs, providing you the opportunity to respond proactively.
If you currently use other Microsoft products such as 365 or Microsoft Teams, there’s good news: Edge for Business connects smoothly with them, allowing you to apply consistent data protection across all your tools.
