RELEASE: Edge for Business policy for blocking screenshots; ensure up-to-date installations

Microsoft Edge for Business is enhancing its defense against data leaks and vulnerabilities with two new capabilities:

  • Screenshot prevention: Data exfiltration in the browser is a major concern for organizations due to financial, reputational and operational impact. Edge for Business will support screenshot prevention policies set across Microsoft 365, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Microsoft Intune Mobile Application Management and Microsoft Purview. Screenshot prevention policies will secure against data exfiltration in the browser by blocking the ability to take screenshots on pages labeled as sensitive or protected. Screenshot prevention will be generally available in the coming months.
  • Easily stay up to date: Managed browser instances that are not up to date are at risk for exploitation through vulnerabilities, including zero-day attacks. The Edge management service will enable IT admins to see which devices have Edge instances that are out of date and at risk. It will also provide mitigating controls, such as forcing a browser restart to install updates, enabling automatic browser updates or enabling enhanced security mode for added protections. This capability will be in preview in the coming weeks.
