Data leak protection for businesses using Microsoft Edge, in 4 easy steps.

Microsoft Edge for Business has introduced new data leak protection control capabilities, a crucial enhancement for safeguarding your sensitive information.

What are Data Leak Protection Control Capabilities?

In simple terms, these capabilities help prevent your sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. Think of it as an extra lock on your digital doors, ensuring only authorised personnel can access your important data.

Every business handles sensitive information, such as financial records, client details, or proprietary data. A data leak can lead to financial loss, legal issues, and damage to your reputation.

This new feature in Microsoft Edge ensures your data remains secure by restricting access to authorised individuals 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.

And let’s not forget your customers. They are more conscious of data privacy than ever, with good reason. 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 offers this new feature in an easy-to-use package. You can set policies on data sharing, preventing certain types of data from being copied or emailed to unauthorised recipients, reducing 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 happens, allowing you to act proactively.

If you’re already using other Microsoft products like 365 or Microsoft Teams, good news: Edge for Business integrates smoothly with them, ensuring consistent data protection across all your tools.

Ready to Give it a Spin? 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 to access the newest features and security updates.
  2. Set Your Policies: Work 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 on the importance of data security and how to use the new features. A quick training session can suffice.
  4. Monitor and Adjust: Keep an eye on how things are working and tweak your policies as needed. Strive for a balance that secures your data without disrupting your workflow.
