About this episode

This episode discusses new security controls in Microsoft Edge for Business that help enforce Microsoft security policies directly in the browser.

Enforce your existing Microsoft security policies directly in the browser, where your users actually work, using Microsoft Edge for Business. Extend Conditional Access, Purview DLP, and Defender controls into every session, across managed and unmanaged devices. Block sensitive data from reaching unsanctioned AI services, lock contractors into your data boundary on devices you don't manage, and control clipboard and screenshot actions by location. Manage extensions by permission type from the Microsoft 365 admin center and shut down scareware before users respond. Jeremy Chapman, Microsoft 365 Director, shares how to deploy these controls using the security stack you already have. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Security built into the browser 01:30 - Shadow AI Data Blocking 03:03 - Contractor Work Profiles 04:22 - Configuration 05:16 - Advanced DLP & Clipboard Controls 06:29 - How to set it up 07:07 - Extension Management 09:20 - Protect from threats 10:13 - Wrap up ► Link References To get started, check out https://aka.ms/EdgeforBusiness ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?
