| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| **[Windows Hello](http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/03/17/making-windows-10-more-personal-and-more-secure-with-windows-hello/)** | Microsoft Edge is the first browser to natively support Windows Hello to authenticate the user and the website with asymmetric cryptography technology, powered by early implementation of the [Web Authentication (formerly FIDO 2.0 Web API) specification](http://w3c.github.io/webauthn/). |

| **Microsoft SmartScreen** | Defends against phishing by performing reputation checks on sites visited and blocking any sites that are thought to be a phishing site. SmartScreen also helps to defend against installing malicious software, drive-by attacks, or file downloads, even from trusted sites. Drive-by attacks are malicious web-based attacks that compromise your system by targeting security vulnerabilities in commonly used software and may be hosted on trusted sites. |
| **Certificate Reputation system** | Collects data about certificates in use, detecting new certificates and flagging fraudulent certificates automatically, and sends the data to Microsoft. The systems and tools in place include<ul><li>Certificate Reputation system: Protects users from fraudulent certificates.</li><li>Bing Webmaster Tools (for developers): Reports fake certificates directly to Microsoft.</li></ul> |
| **Microsoft EdgeHTML and modern web standards** | Microsoft Edge uses Microsoft EdgeHTML as the rendering engine. This engine focuses on modern standards letting web developers build and maintain a consistent site across all modern browsers. It also helps to defend against hacking through these security standards features:<ul><li>Support for the W3C standard for [Content Security Policy (CSP)](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/platform/documentation/dev-guide/security/content-Security-Policy), which can help web developers defend their sites against cross-site scripting attacks.</li><li> Support for the [HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/platform/documentation/dev-guide/security/HSTS/) security feature (IETF-standard compliant). HSTS helps ensure that connections to important sites, such as to your bank, are always secured.</li></ul><p>**NOTE:** Both Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 support HSTS. |
| **Code integrity and image loading restrictions** | Microsoft Edge content processes support code integrity and image load restrictions, helping to prevent malicious DLLs from loading or injecting into the content processes. Only [properly signed images](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/11/17/microsoft-edge-module-code-integrity/) are allowed to load into Microsoft Edge. Binaries on remote devices (such as UNC or WebDAV) cant load. |
| **Memory corruption mitigations** | Memory corruption attacks frequently happen to apps written in C or C++ dont provide safety or buffer overflow protection. When an attacker provides malformed input to a program, the programs memory becomes corrupt allowing the attacker to take control of the program. Although attackers have adapted and invented new ways to attack, weve responded with memory safety defenses, mitigating the most common forms of attack, including and especially [use-after-free (UAF)](http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/416.html) vulnerabilities. |

| **Memory Garbage Collector (MemGC) mitigation** | MemGC replaces Memory Protector and helps to protect the browser from UAF vulnerabilities. MemGC frees up memory from the programmer and automating it. Only freeing memory when the automation detects no references left pointing to a given block of memory. |
| **Control Flow Guard** | Attackers use memory corruption attacks to gain control of the CPU program counter to jump to any code location they want. Control Flow Guard, a Microsoft Visual Studio technology, compiles checks around code that performs indirect jumps based on a pointer. Those jumps get restricted to function entry points with known addresses only making attacker take-overs must more difficult constraining where an attack jumps. |
| **All web content runs in an app container sandbox** |Microsoft Edge takes the sandbox even farther, running its content processes in containers not just by default, but all of the time. Microsoft Edge doesnt support 3rd party binary extensions, so there is no reason for it to run outside of the container, making Microsoft Edge more secure. |

**Q: Does Microsoft Edge work with Enterprise Mode?**
**A:** [Enterprise Mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/enterprise-mode-overview-for-ie11) offers better backward compatibility and enables customers to run many legacy web applications. Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer can be configured to use the same Enterprise Mode Site List, switching seamlessly between browsers to support both modern and legacy web apps.

**Q: Is Adobe Flash supported in Microsoft Edge?**
**A:** Currently, Adobe Flash is supported as a built-in feature of Microsoft Edge on devices running the desktop version of Windows 10. In July 2017, Adobe announced that Flash will no longer be supported after 2020. With Adobe no longer supporting Flash after 2020, Microsoft has started to phase out Flash from Microsoft Edge by adding the [Configure the Adobe Flash Click-to-Run setting](#configure-the-adobe-flash-click-to-run-setting) group policy giving you a way to control the list of websites that have permission to run Adobe Flash content.
