Microsoft has introduced a groundbreaking browser tailored for businesses—Edge for Business, the world's first secure enterprise AI browser. Designed to meet the sophisticated demands of modern organizations, this browser uniquely integrates Microsoft's AI capabilities with deep security and productivity features to empower workforces while safeguarding enterprise data.

Combining Intelligence and Security for the Enterprise

Edge for Business combines three powerful elements: Microsoft 365 Copilot’s AI capabilities, the contextual intelligence of Microsoft Graph data, and Edge’s established secure enterprise foundation. This integration creates an intelligent browsing experience that understands the user’s work context, streamlines workflows, and boosts productivity without compromising on security or compliance. The browser allows IT and security leaders to balance powerful AI features with robust threat protection specific to organizational needs.

Key Features: Copilot Mode and AI Enhancements

Central to the new release is the introduction of Copilot Mode for work environments. This mode empowers users with agentic, proactive AI that can anticipate needs and provide context-aware assistance. IT admins can enable this mode when ready, giving users an intelligent assistant that automates multi-step workflows on approved sites through Agent Mode, allows quick access to personalized content via a Copilot-inspired new tab page, and provides daily briefings summarizing meetings and priorities.

Industry-Leading Security and Control

Microsoft has embedded enterprise-grade security at the core of Edge for Business. Features include Enterprise Data Protection ensuring that AI prompts and responses remain within the organization’s control, compliance with Data Loss Prevention policies, and controls for sensitive data such as passwords and payment methods. Agent Mode operates with transparency; users see visual cues and retain control to stop AI operations at any point.

Unified Management and Enhanced Admin Controls

Administrators benefit from unified, cross-platform policy management via the Microsoft 365 admin center, enabling consistent Edge configurations on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android from a single dashboard. They can simplify prerelease testing by integrating Beta builds within the stable Edge app, reducing overhead and user disruption. Extension management also gains transparency and control, providing insights into installed extensions and allowing policy enforcement from one centralized interface.

Recognition and Adoption

Microsoft Edge for Business has already earned significant market traction, with top customers using it for approximately 60% of their enterprise browsing. It was recently named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide Application Streaming and Enterprise Browsers 2025 Vendor Assessment, highlighting its secure design, ecosystem strength, and role as a premier Zero Trust platform.

Getting Started

Currently, Copilot Mode is available in private preview, with broader features expected to enter public preview in early 2026. Organizations eager to enhance productivity while maintaining uncompromising security can begin enabling Copilot Mode through the Edge management service today.
