Microsoft Edge for Business is an enterprise-level browser that can address the needs of IT and security professionals. It supports data loss prevention, unmanaged device support, and even generative AI controls. You can also deploy encrypted shared passwords, block Scareware, manage the browser's AI features, and keep all browser instances up-to-date. Microsoft Edge for Business respects usage rights restrictions on sensitive Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files to enhance protections for editing, printing, and copying on the web. The browser also offers additional productivity tools such as vertical tabs, AI-generated themes, grouped tabs, and workspaces to help users stay organized.
Microsoft Edge for Business comes pre-installed on Windows and can help you access corporate resources safely and securely across any device, anywhere. Edge for Business extends enterprise-grade protections from your Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 licenses, making it one of the most secure browsers. The Edge management service in the Microsoft 365 admin center offers a simple UI, AI controls, and organizational branding features, making management easier for even small businesses and those that want a guided experience.
To promote productivity and efficiency, Microsoft is introducing new Edge for Business features, including customizable Group Policies in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse for managing and securing your customers' web browsers and a Scareware blocker that identifies and warns users of potential scams in real-time. Secure password deployment, one of the most important features for managing password security, will be available soon in preview in the Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, and E5 subscriptions.
Managing shared passwords across different devices has always been a security risk. Secure password deployment in the Edge management service can help deploy encrypted shared passwords to all users, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and enhancing your entire organization's overall security posture.
AI, while enhancing productivity, can be misused by unsanctioned AI use. The Edge Management service offers a comprehensive solution for overseeing AI in Edge for Business, from restricting access to public AI services to exerting precise control over Microsoft Copilot. Edge for Business offers an integrated Copilot experience with enterprise data protection that addresses data leakage and other AI security concerns.
Edge for Business can assist you in managing security settings for the public and private use of AI features, including text prediction, AI-generated themes, and Copilot. Edge for Business now respects usage rights restrictions on sensitive Microsoft Office documents on the web, such as blocking screen captures, printing, and copying. Edge for Business also offers other productivity tools to help users stay organized with tab groups, workspaces, and vertical tabs.
