REMINDER: Migrate your information to Microsoft Edge

1 min read

Dear colleagues,

We would like to remind you that, as from 1 April 2023, only Microsoft Edge will be available for use on company computers. Other browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, will no longer be accessible. This change is part of our new policy regarding web browsers and will strongly improve our company’s IT security.

Many of you have stored important information such as passwords, favourite pages and bookmarks into your browser. If this information is stored in other browsers than Microsoft Edge, you will have to transfer it as soon as possible and before 31 March 2023. You can find all the steps to follow to migrate your information to Microsoft Edge, as well as some FAQ, on intranet under Competence Centres > ICT > Best practices or by clicking here.

We understand that this change may require some adjustment, but we would like to stress that this is a security benefit for our company. Microsoft Edge, which is integrated to Office 365, has been designed to offer better security features than other browsers. It also gives the IT team more control over the security of our systems, including monitoring updates.

If you have questions about the migration of your information to Microsoft Edge, contact your IT Service Desk.
