clipboard protection

Clipboard protection in Microsoft Edge for Business is an enterprise security feature that restricts or warns when pasting protected content outside managed boundaries. It integrates with Microsoft Purview DLP and Intune MAM to prevent data exfiltration through the clipboard. This capability is part of Microsoft's broader browser-level data protection controls, including dynamic watermarking, announced at Ignite. The feature is currently in preview and targets organizations needing to enforce data loss prevention policies directly within the browser, treating the clipboard as a critical exfiltration surface.
