![]() TLS 1.2 keeps data being transferred across the network more secure. TLS 1.1 Has no known vulnerabilities but it does not provide any modern cipermodes. It has been known to be vulnerable to attacks like POODLE and BEAST. It’s very important this authentication and encryption is secured. TLS is a cryptographic protocol that provide data encryption and authentication between different endpoints. So this feature is very important to be configured and it has be enabled! TLS It also makes sure malicious web content will be blocked. If Microsoft thinks it is dangerous malware, SmartScreen blocks it. If Microsoft has the information it is safe SmartScreen will allow it to run. SmartScreen is a feature that helps protect your PC from downloaded malware and malicious websites. When you are downloading an application or file, smart screen will check it against a Microsoft database. So let’s configure site isolation to make sure the hacker will find it more difficult to get their hands on some sensitive information Defender SmartScreen ![]() Spectre attacks are all about inducing the processor to leak data at a specific moment. Site isolation is a security feature that separates web pages from each Site to its own process. With Site Isolation mode turned on you could mitigate this attack. ![]() Luckily news CPU’s have mitigated the spectre vulnerability at the hardware level it’s still important to enable site isolation mode. Site Isolationĭo you remember the Spectre attack from 2018? The Spectre vulnerability takes advantage of flaws in the optimization features of modern CPUs in order to circumvent the security mechanisms that prevent different processes from accessing each other’s memory space. So I guess blocking the possibility to add extensions is the way to go and specify which extension may and can be installed. It could install malicious extensions even without the users’ knowledge. The CacheFlow extension is one of the many examplesĮxtensions could also be downloaded from other sites, including sites that are infected with malware. But at the same time could redirect users to ads, phishing sites, collect user data, or download malware on infected systems. Browser ExtensionsĮxtensions, or add-ons, are simple tools that customize your browser experience and offer you more control. When you want to secure Microsoft Edge, you could easily deploy the Microsoft edge security Baseline in the Endpoint security Intune tab.īut I guess you could be asking yourself, why do I need to secure my Browser? Let’s take a look at some of the risks and mitigations. How you could automate the security and configuration of your Edge Browser with PowerShell ( Settings Catalog and Administrative Templates)įirst, we are going to take a look at why you need to secure your Edge Browser.Some background information on why you need to secure your Edge Browser.I am going to divide this blog into 2 parts I have created a lot of blogs about securing your endpoints, securing your data, securing your Microsoft 365 but I have not talked about making sure your Edge browser is configured and secured properly. ![]() While writing this blog, I decided to also add some information on how you could retrieve and push settings with PowerShell. In the blog, I am also pointing out my updated blog about Fiddler This time a simple blog about creating an Edge baseline with the Settings Catalog (and administrative tools) and how to deploy it with PowerShell or just automate it!
