Protect your business from a data leak with Microsoft Edge

Protect your business from a data leak with Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge for Business has recently introduced new data leak control capabilities, which could significantly enhance the security of your sensitive information.

What are data leak control capabilities?

In simple terms, they help prevent your confidential information from being accessed by unauthorised individuals. Think of it as an extra lock on your digital doors, ensuring only the right people can access your important data.

Every business handles sensitive information, such as financial records, client details, or proprietary data. If this information is leaked, it can result in serious consequences: financial loss, legal issues, and damage to your reputation.

This new feature in Microsoft Edge ensures your data remains secure by allowing only authorised personnel to access it and preventing accidental sharing.

Depending on your industry, you may have stringent data protection regulations. These new controls can help you comply with these regulations.

Additionally, your customers are increasingly aware of data privacy. Using a browser with robust data leak controls demonstrates your commitment to protecting their information, thereby boosting their trust in your business.

Microsoft Edge for Business incorporates this new feature into an easy-to-use package. You can set policies on how data can be shared, such as preventing certain types of data from being copied or emailed to unauthorised recipients. This reduces the likelihood of accidental leaks.

The feature uses 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 already use 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 give it a try? Here’s what to do:

1. Update your browser: Ensure all your business’s devices are using the latest version of Microsoft Edge for Business. This guarantees you have all the newest features and security updates.
2. Set your policies: Collaborate with your IT support partner to establish data sharing policies that suit your business. Microsoft provides guidelines and templates to help you get started.
3. Train your team: Educate your employees about the importance of data security and how to use the new features. A brief training session can be very effective.
4. Monitor and adjust: Observe how the new system is working and adjust your policies as necessary. Aim for a balance that secures your data without disrupting your workflow.
