Microsoft has announced features for Microsoft Edge for Business version for use in organizations. A notable feature is screenshot prevention to prevent data leakage. The functionality of screenshot prevention is similar to capturing screens in streaming apps with DRM. For instance, the Snipping Tool app captures screenshots in pure black. This feature requires organization admins to enable it through various control tools.
Another feature introduced on the organizational side is limiting the opening of Word, Excel, PowerPoint files based on data sensitivity levels. For example, allowing file opening but restricting printing, admins can specify that Edge must always be the latest updated version. Failure to comply will result in app restrictions, enforced enhanced security mode, or disabling just-in-time JavaScript compilation.
Edge has also added the feature of changing the badge icon that overlays the Edge icon (previously a document folder) to an organization’s logo, along with the ability to customize the main color theme to match the organization’s brand.
TLDR: Microsoft Edge for Business introduces screenshot prevention and file opening restrictions based on data sensitivity, along with the ability to customize badge icons and color themes to match the organization’s brand.
