Real-Time Browser Security with HYPR + Microsoft Edge for Business Integration

With enterprise browsers serving as the new gateways to critical business applications and data, organizations must incorporate high levels of identity assurance to mitigate the rising risk of cyberattacks and data breaches.

HYPR, the leader in passwordless and identity verification solutions, has joined forces with Microsoft Edge for Business, the secure enterprise browser renowned for its security and productivity features. This integration provides unparalleled visibility, detects modern threats, and enforces real-time security policies at the moment of access.

The Urgent Demand for Enhanced Enterprise Browser Security

The modern workforce operates across various devices and locations, making the enterprise browser a critical control point for security. In today’s world, traditional security measures often fall short. AI-driven attacks, phishing campaigns, and social engineering tactics pose significant risks to sensitive data and systems. Organizations need a security strategy that not only protects against known threats but also adapts to new and emerging risks. This is where the HYPR + Microsoft Edge for Business integration makes a significant difference.

Key Benefits of HYPR + Microsoft Edge for Business Integration

This integration offers a range of powerful benefits designed to boost enterprise security and streamline user experience:

1. Unmatched Visibility: Gain comprehensive insights into user behavior and potential threats from signals from browsers and devices. HYPR’s integration delivers in-depth visibility into user activities, suspicious patterns, and potential security breaches. This visibility is vital for proactive security management and incident response.
2. Proactive Threat Detection: Recognize and mitigate potential threats more effectively with advanced analysis of signals from all endpoints. HYPR's intelligent risk policy engine detects anomalies and security risks in real-time, enabling you to take swift action and stop breaches before they happen.
3. Real-Time Security Enforcement: Enforce security policies instantly based on your customizable rules. HYPR Adapt enables immediate and automated response actions when potential threats are detected, significantly reducing the window of vulnerability and preventing security incidents. Such actions include requiring step-up authentication, identity re-verification, or denial of access.
4. Unified Security Posture: Establish a consistent security posture across all devices, minimizing vulnerabilities and strengthening your overall defense. HYPR Adapt ensures that security policies are applied uniformly, regardless of the device or platform, providing full environment protection.

How the Integration Works: Deep Dive into HYPR Adapt and Microsoft Edge for Business

HYPR Adapt, the policy risk engine at the core of HYPR's platform, integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Edge for Business to provide enhanced security and data protection. This integration leverages a sophisticated process to analyze user behavior and enforce security policies.

Integration Workflow: Step-by-Step

1. IdP Workflow: The user initiates the login process with their Identity Provider (IdP) and is redirected to HYPR for authentication.

2. Edge for Business Interaction: The user's enterprise browser detects a policy-configured URL and communicates its Device Trust capabilities.

3. HYPR Adapt Analysis: HYPR recognizes the browser's Device Trust intent and initiates a challenge-response exchange with the Microsoft Device Trust API and the user's browser.

4. Microsoft Device Trust API: The service responds by providing device trust signals from the user's browser and device.

5. Policy Decision and Enforcement: HYPR Adapt analyzes the Device Trust signals and makes an informed policy decision. This decision can result in several actions:

   1. Allowing seamless desktop single sign-on (SSO) for a frictionless user experience.

   2. Enforcing phishing-resistant authentication to prevent credential theft.

   3. Requiring re-verification of user identity through HYPR Affirm for enhanced security in high-risk scenarios.

   4. Denying access to prevent unauthorized entry.

6. Access Granted: If the policy allows and the user successfully completes the required authentication steps, they are granted secure access to their enterprise applications.

The HYPR + Microsoft Edge for Business integration represents a significant advancement in enterprise browser security. By combining HYPR Adapt's advanced signal collection and analysis with Microsoft Edge for Business's robust platform, organizations can achieve deep insights into user behavior, proactively detect threats, and enforce real-time security policies.
