Microsoft Edge for Business has just rolled out new data leak control capabilities, and this could be a game-changer for safeguarding your sensitive information.
What are data leak control capabilities?
In simple terms, these features 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 individuals can access your important data.
Every business handles sensitive information, be it financial records, client details, or proprietary data. A data leak could result in significant consequences: financial losses, legal issues, and damage to your reputation.
This new feature in Microsoft Edge helps keep your data secure by ensuring only authorised personnel can access it and preventing accidental sharing.
Depending on your industry, strict data protection regulations may apply. These new controls can help you remain compliant.
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 set policies on how data can be shared, such as preventing certain types of data from being copied or emailed to unauthorised recipients, thereby reducing the risk of accidental leaks.
Utilising artificial intelligence, Edge can detect potential threats and unusual data movements, alerting you to a potential leak before it happens, allowing 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 give it a spin? Here’s what to do:
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.
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.
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.
Monitor and adjust: Keep an eye on how the policies are working and tweak them as needed. Find a balance that keeps your data secure without disrupting your workflow.
