It only takes one click on one bad link to put your business\u2019s data at risk.<\/p>\n<p>With cyber criminals constantly targeting businesses using automated tools, it&#8217;s important to stay one step ahead with your online security.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re excited that Microsoft is working on a major security update for its Edge browser, which will bring enhanced security to everyone using it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s adding new security features and beefing up existing ones.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you\u2019ve already seen features such as Password Monitor. This alerts you if any of your saved passwords have been compromised in a data breach, prompting you to change them immediately.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also SmartScreen technology, which will help safeguard you from phishing scams and malware.<\/p>\n<p>This checks websites against a list of known malicious sites, as well as analyzing URLs for any suspicious patterns or characteristics. If it detects something that\u2019s not right, you&#8217;ll be warned before you proceed to the site.<\/p>\n<p>Why should you care about all these security updates?<\/p>\n<p>It comes down to this: Using a less secure browser could leave you vulnerable to all sorts of online threats. Cyber criminals are constantly coming up with new ways to exploit weaknesses in software, so it&#8217;s important to stay up-to-date with the latest security measures.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, let&#8217;s face it \u2013 no one wants to deal with the aftermath of a cyber attack. Whether it&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>By using a secure browser like Edge, you can reduce your risk of falling victim to such attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we know that not everyone is an expert on&nbsp; cyber security. That&#8217;s why Microsoft is making it easy to stay safe without needing a degree in computer science.<\/p>\n<p>The new security features are built-in and easy to use so you don&#8217;t have to worry about configuring anything yourself. You can browse the web with peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not already using Edge, give it a go. And if you need help getting your 365 suite optimized for your business, get in touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We explain how Microsoft Edge is introducing some new security-boosting features to help you stay one step ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":920,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
