Microsoft Edge: Find on Page in Microsoft Edge for Business will soon be integrated with Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Edge for Business will integrate Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat into its 'Find on Page' feature. This allows Copilot to summarise and extract information from web content, potentially exposing sensitive data if not properly governed.

The Impact

All users are affected, with a moderate risk of inadvertent sensitive information exposure via Copilot processing web content.

• End users: Risk of inadvertently processing sensitive web content with Copilot.
• Security teams: Need to monitor Copilot usage for data handling compliance.
• Data owners: Potential for sensitive data to be processed outside defined boundaries.
• Compliance officers: Requires review of data governance policies for Copilot web interactions.

The Action

1. Review and update Microsoft 365 Copilot data governance policies to explicitly address web content processing.
2. Educate users on responsible use of Copilot with 'Find on Page' for sensitive information.
3. Monitor Microsoft 365 Copilot audit logs for unusual data access patterns related to web content.
4. Assess existing Microsoft Edge for Business policies for any relevant restrictions on Copilot integration.
