Regaining Control Over Unmanaged GenAI Apps: New Microsoft Purview Enhancements in Edge

on
Many organizations are growing increasingly concerned about the widespread use of unsanctioned Generative AI (GenAI) tools. These apps, often accessed through unmanaged browsers, pose significant risks to data security and compliance. To help with this, Microsoft is now updating some features in  Microsoft Purview that will enhance policy enforcement for unmanaged cloud apps accessed via the Edge browser.  What’s Changing? Previously, enforcing Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Collection policies required manual creation of Edge configuration policies. These policies were often complex and needed to be scoped correctly to block unsupported browsers or apply protections. With this update, Microsoft automates much of that process: Collection Policies now apply directly within Edge without needing a separate blocking configuration. DLP Policies automatically generate Edge configuration policies that align with the scope of the DLP rules. DLP policies can operate in two mode...

Google Chrome; Is it any good

I’ve been trying out Google Chrome for a few days, and here are my thoughts about it.
It is light, It is fast and it really works well. So why did I go back to IE and Opera? To tell you the truth? GC is to “light”. Here is a list of “complaints”, and possible areas of improvement:

- I couldn’t find anywhere to control plugin modules, or where/how to granulate cookie control. I am not saying CG is bad, but I like the illusion of control. And CG doesn’t give me that illusion.
- I miss an easy way to enable/disable features on the fly (like I do in my Opera)
- I miss how IE uses Zones for enabling features in “secure” zones, and disable them when surfing other Internet sites.
- The “intelligent” autofill for domain names is clearly programmed for .com .org
- And then there are the little small things I have gotten used to, like how the favorite folder in IE is always available, and returns to the same subfolder when you want to access a new favorite. The “home” button (without having to create it as an bookmark first).
- Finally, there are several sites not working (or behaving badly) in the Beta browser, like facebook live and other java enabled sites

I will however, not give up on CG. I’ll just wait and see if some of the features I use a lot will be available in a future release. And as I said, It is really fast and good. I liked the look, and layout. And the fact that it is not MS :)
