Browsing the web in Microsoft Edge will soon be even safer as Microsoft is currently in the process of adding Intel’s Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET) to its browser.
Microsoft first adopted CET through an implementation known as Hardware-enforced Stack Protection back in March of this year. Hardware-enforced Stack Protection leverages the Intel CET chipset security extension to secure Windows applications from Return-Oriented Programming (ROP), Jump Oriented Programming and other common exploit techniques.
