Migrate away from SHA-1 as soon as you can as all the major browsers have dropped support. Microsoft will remove this setting from the browser in mid-2021 and there will be no way to support SHA-1 signed certificates using Edge. One new setting in the Edge version 85 kit, “Allow certificates signed using SHA-1 when issued by local trust anchors”, is deprecated (no longer under active development) but is needed to assist in the migration from SHA-1 signed certificates. With this kit you can use Group Policy or scripts to better harden your Edge browser against threats. It has also provided the Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit 1.0, which includes information and recommendations. Microsoft has released a Security baseline for Microsoft Edge version 85. With Chrome-based Edge, it’s possible to go back to a single browser without your application ecosystem suffering ill effects.
Standardizing on the Chromium-based Edge browserįor many years we’ve had to install multiple browsers because vendors did not support built-in browsers, or they targeted their applications for one browser. As we enter the era of cloud computing and the end of Adobe Flash, it’s time for enterprises to not only standardize on a web browser, but to ensure that your settings and deployments are secure as they can be. Now we hold in our pockets more technology than I used with Netscape Navigator and Altavista to explore the World Wide Web, and web browsers have become the portal through which we access most of our critical apps and services. I’m old enough to remember the screeching sound of a modem as it connected to the internet.
