Microsoftis making private browsing mode even safer inEdgeby adding Intel’s Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET) to its browser.

This security feature, which is supported onIntel 11th GenorAMD Zen 3CPUs, is already enabled inWindows 10as the software giant had adopted CET through an implementation known as Hardware-enforced Stack Protection in itsoperating system.

Googlerecently addedHardware-enforced Stack Protection to Chromeas well though Microsoft Edge was the first Chromium-based browser to adopt CET with the release of the Canary build of version 90 of its browser.

Soon even more Edge users will be able to take advantage of CET support for safer browsing when this feature rolls out later this year.

In anew poston theMicrosoft 365 Roadmap, the software giant revealed that CET support for Edge is currently in development and will arrive with the release of version 94 of Edge in September.

To take advantage of this feature, your system will need to have either anIntel11th Gen orAMDZen 3 CPU. However, you can also disable CET by changing Image File Execution Options (IFEO) using group policy.

As the browser is becoming one of the most used tools by employeesworking from homeas well as by those whose organizations are implementinghybrid working, Microsoft’s decision to add CET support to Edge will help keep workers safe from new exploits and attacks designed to be delivered remotely.
