Summary:
New inline protection controls for AI apps in Microsoft Edge for Business will be introduced in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP). This feature, available from April 2025, will prevent data leakage when interacting with sensitive data in the browser. Admins can block sensitive prompts in AI apps like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and DeepSeek. No action is required before the rollout.
Details:
Coming soon for Microsoft Purview | Data Loss Prevention (DLP): We will introduce new inline protection capabilities for Microsoft Edge for Business that prevent data leakage for the various ways that users interact with sensitive data in the browser, including typing text directly into a web application or sending a prompt to a generative AI app. Inline protection is built natively into Edge for Business, meaning it can be enabled even without deploying Endpoint DLP, and the inline protection complements existing Endpoint DLP protections for uploading or pasting sensitive content to the browser. This capability will be available starting with several top consumer generative AI apps (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and DeepSeek), and will expand to support a growing list of unmanaged apps over time.
