Microsoft has introduced a new inline data protection feature for its Edge for Business browser, aimed at preventing employees from inadvertently sharing sensitive company data with generative AI applications. This feature is designed to block data leaks by monitoring user interactions with sensitive information, including text input into web applications and AI prompts. The company plans to expand this capability to cover additional generative AI, email, collaboration, and social media applications over time.
In conjunction with this update, Microsoft is enhancing security measures for its Teams platform to combat phishing attacks, which have increasingly targeted users through malicious links and software. The new controls will allow organizations to manage communication permissions and improve real-time protection against threats. Additionally, Microsoft is expanding its Security Copilot with new AI-driven solutions to help security teams manage the growing complexity of cyber threats more effectively.
