Microsoft has unveiled the Edge for Business security connector framework, enabling seamless integration of security solutions into the Edge browser. This initiative enhances enterprise security by connecting authentication, data loss prevention, and reporting tools. With partnerships from industry leaders like Cisco and CrowdStrike, organizations can now fortify their defenses against cyber threats while maintaining a streamlined user experience.
Introducing Edge for Business Security Connectors
Microsoft has just unveiled a game-changing feature: the Edge for Business security connector framework. This innovation allows seamless integration between Microsoft Edge and your existing security solutions. As Arunesh Chandra states, “We believe that it is fundamentally important to be security-first.” This initiative aims to enhance security in the modern workplace.
What’s New?
For the first time, Edge for Business offers a trusted partner ecosystem that integrates with various security solutions. This integration includes partnerships with leading companies like Cisco Duo, CrowdStrike, Splunk, and Ping Identity. These connectors are designed to enhance the security capabilities of your browser without any additional cost.
Major Updates
Three key types of connectors have been introduced to address critical security needs:
- Device Trust: This connector ensures that only verified devices access corporate resources. It integrates with identity and access management tools for real-time verification.
- Reporting: With reporting connectors, security events in Edge for Business can now be reported directly to your preferred security solution. This provides a single source of truth for security insights.
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP): This feature integrates DLP solutions directly into the browser, enabling monitoring and blocking of sensitive data.
What’s Important to Know?
Integrating these connectors is straightforward. Simply access the Edge management service in the Microsoft 365 admin center, select your desired solution, and follow the step-by-step instructions. In just a few minutes, your security setup will be enhanced.
As Microsoft emphasizes, “With connectors, Edge for Business is now a full member of your security team.” This means enhanced clarity and control over your security landscape, all at no extra cost.
