The internet can be dangerous. It only takes one faulty link to compromise your company’s data.
With cyber criminals constantly attacking organisations through automated techniques, it’s critical to keep your internet security up to date.
That’s why we’re glad to hear that Microsoft is working on a big security update for its Edge browser, which will provide greater security to all users.
It is introducing new security features and improving current ones.
Perhaps you’ve previously seen features like Password Monitor. This notifies you if any of your saved passwords have been compromised as a result of a data breach, pushing you to change them right away.
SmartScreen technology is also available to help protect you from phishing scams and malware.
This compares websites to a list of known malicious sites and examines URLs for any suspicious patterns or attributes. If it identifies an error, it will notify you before proceeding to the site.
Why should you be concerned with all of these security updates?
It all boils down to this: Using a less secure browser may expose you to a variety of online risks. Cyber criminals are continuously devising new ways to exploit software flaws, so staying up to date on the latest security measures is critical.
Plus, let’s be honest: no one likes to deal with the fallout from a cyber attack. The ramifications of a breach can be far-reaching, whether it’s dealing with financial losses, identity theft, or simply the difficulty of clearing up the mess.
You may lower your risk of falling prey to such attacks by using a safe browser like Edge.
Of course, we all know that not everyone is a cyber security specialist. That is why Microsoft is making it simple to keep safe without requiring a computer science degree.
The new security measures are built-in and simple to use, so you don’t have to bother about manually configuring anything. You can explore the web with confidence.
