Microsoft Edge
Browsing the web can be risky. It only takes one click on one bad link to put your business’s data at risk.
With cyber criminals constantly targeting businesses using automated tools, staying one step ahead with your online security is essential.
That’s why we’re excited that Microsoft is working on a major security update for its Edge browser, which will enhance security for everyone using it.
It’s adding new security features and beefing up existing ones.
Maybe you’ve already seen features such as Password Monitor. This alerts you if any saved passwords have been compromised in a data breach, prompting you to change them immediately.
There’s also SmartScreen technology, which will help safeguard you from phishing scams and malware.
This checks websites against a list of known malicious sites and analyzes URLs for any suspicious patterns or characteristics. You’ll be warned before proceeding to the site if it detects something wrong.
Why should you care about all these security updates?
It comes down to this: Using a less secure browser could leave you vulnerable to various online threats. Cybercriminals are constantly coming up with new ways to exploit weaknesses in software, so it’s essential to stay up-to-date with the latest security measures.
Plus, let’s face it – no one wants to deal with the aftermath of a cyber attack. Whether it’s dealing with financial losses, identity theft, or just the hassle of cleaning up the mess, the consequences of a breach can be far-reaching.
Using a secure browser like Edge reduces your risk of falling victim to such attacks.
Of course, we know that not everyone is an expert on cyber security. That’s why Microsoft is making it easy to stay safe without needing a degree in computer science.
The new security features are built-in and easy to use, so you don’t have to worry about configuring anything. You can browse the web with peace of mind.
