Microsoft Boosts Edge Browser Security

The new technology is called “Application Guard” and it’s part of Microsoft’s Secure Productive Enterprise suite.

Judson Althoff, executive vice president of Microsoft’s worldwide commercial business, said that the additions will help IT professionals achieve “bold claims” in these areas.

One of the biggest security risks for computer users is their web browser. The System Center aims to ease the deployment, configuration, management and monitoring of virtualized, software-defined data center and hybrid cloud infrastructure built on Windows Server 2016, MSPoweruser notes.

“I’d like to introduce Windows Defender Application Guard“.

Microsoft is also working to lock down the browser even more.

According to a report by ZDNet, at Microsoft’s Ignite conference in Atlanta, company’s officials said that Windows 10 was running on 400 million active devices as on September 26. Because then you wouldn’t be able to save cookies, login details, or other information that you might want to have when you login to trusted sites. It’ll allow Edge browser to run in a lightweight virtual machine. The feature is created to give better security to enterprises.

Intent on winning over more of the enterprise browser market, Microsoft has unveiled a new security feature it’s calling “Windows Defender Application Guard”.

In the demo, Knight showed how an attacker who had gained access to a corporate Windows 7 machine could go on to steal all the credentials on that machine.

Other organizations that have adopted Windows 10 include Land O’Lakes, Expedia, Kimberly Clark and Union Bank & Trust, Mehdi said in a blog post Monday, .

“It’s completely transparent to your end users”. At this rate, Microsoft could still hit its goal of 1 billion Windows 10 installs, but it will take a bit longer than initially hoped.

However, the launch of Microsoft’s blockbuster operating system, followed by its Anniversary Update haven’t been without its issues, which range from technical issues to criticism over user privacy.

Microsoft says that the cumulative update is the same on PCs and mobile devices, but the first are also getting a bonus improvement for better downloading of games and updates from the Store.

That list that includes a wide range of devices, including the standard PCs, phones, tablets, along with the Xbox One, Surface Hubs, and the HoloLens.

Microsoft is still in the process of building the feature, and will be rolling it out to Windows Insiders in the coming months. Docker support in Windows Server will be no additional cost to Windows Server customers.

Review: Windows Server 2016 steps up security, cloud support +. Especially for enterprise environments, where ransom malware that encrypts any data it finds can be devastating, this should add a huge wall protecting a large, complex application platform (the web browser) from untrusted third-parties (websites).
