Enhance the security state in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
This policy lets you enhance the security state in Microsoft Edge. If you set this policy to 'StandardMode', the enhanced mode is turned off, and Microsoft Edge falls back to its standard security mode. If you set this policy to 'BalancedMode', the security state is in balanced mode. If you set this policy to 'StrictMode', the security state is in strict mode. If you set this policy to 'BasicMode', the security state is in basic mode. Note: Sites that use WebAssembly (WASM) aren't supported on 32-bit systems when 'EnhanceSecurityMode' (Enhance the security state in Microsoft Edge) is enabled. If you require access to a site that uses WASM, consider adding it to your exception list as described in https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2183321. Starting from Microsoft Edge version 113, 'BasicMode' is deprecated and is treated the same as 'BalancedMode'. It doesn't work in Microsoft Edge version 116. For detailed information about Enhanced Security Mode, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2185895. Policy options mapping: * StandardMode (0) = Standard mode * BalancedMode (1) = Balanced mode * StrictMode (2) = Strict mode * BasicMode (3) = (Deprecated) Basic mode Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.
