Island is the developer of the Enterprise Browser. In this channel, you will have access to information on the security and IT industry, Enterprise Browser product information, technical discussions, and business use cases that are driving the growth of the Enterprise Browser category and the adoption of this technology by the largest, most security-focused organizations around the globe.  

With the core needs of the enterprise naturally embedded in the browser itself, the Island Enterprise Browser gives organizations complete control, visibility, and governance over the last mile, while delivering the same smooth Chromium-based browser experience users expect – redefining the future of work for some of the largest, most respected enterprises. 

Traditionally, the balance between increased productivity and improved cybersecurity has been more of a sliding scale than a rising tide. A reality that handicaps end users more than anyone else. But what if this frustrating tradeoff no longer existed? What would it look like for CIOs and CISOs to benefit simultaneously rather than make compromises and concessions? And what if, for the very first time, better cybersecurity also meant happier, more productive end users? Mike Fey, CEO and co-founder of Island, shares how the workspace of the future is bringing CIOs and CISOs together to enable all of the above.

CXO Talk:  Enterprise Browser:  Delivering Ease-of-Use and IT Control

Mike Fey, Co-founder and CEO of Island, notes that to break out of our typical walls of work—in favor of a remote and hybrid approach—organizations traditionally invest in methods like virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to keep data within the businesses’ control.
Fey reveals that, now, you can deliver secure, remote access with no infrastructure, no need to back haul web traffic, and better visibility, control, compliance, and user experience without the infrastructure required by VDI. 
So, what’s the key? The Enterprise Browser. Fey explains how the Enterprise Browser improves upon VDI in this video.

The Enterprise Browser: Delivering Secure Remote Access without VDI

As you integrate unmanaged environments and devices into your organization, like your employees’ personal mobile devices, it's critical to reimagine how you protect company data and secure users, applications, and services.
Watch this brief video to hear from Bradon Rogers, Chief Customer Officer at Island, on how The Enterprise Browser revolutionizes this process and provisions users in a rapid way to keep them productive.

How Does Island Enhance Web Proxy for Safe Browsing? The Essentials Explained

Enterprises have been utilizing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for many years to ensure critical business data doesn’t leave the organization.
However, VDI adopters still contend with its complexity, significant costs, and less-than-ideal user experience (UX).
Tune into this short video to compare VDI to a new way to address these challenges—the Island Enterprise Browser—which affords your IT teams the same level of control without the high costs and management complexity.

Eliminate the Costs and Complexity of VDI with the Island Enterprise Browser

The browser has become a tech stack in and of itself, part-and-parcel with all of the complexity, the security issues, and the access control protocols that come with it. 
The solution, to date, has been to continue to layer different sets of technology on this environment, versus rethinking how we access web, SaaS, and cloud properties, notes Mike Fey, Co-founder and CEO of Island.
In this snackable video, Fey joins Michael Krigsman, Publisher and Industry Analyst at CXOTalk, to talk through the issues of using consumer browsers for business and how to rethink your browser approach.

CXOTalk: Why Rethinking Web, SaaS, and Cloud Access is Essential

In most cases, few have considered a run-of-the-mill browser as an enterprise tool. Yet, Island is introducing the concept of an Enterprise Browser as a new category of enterprise application.
So, what is the Enterprise Browser? Why should people care about it? And why does it matter for CISOs, CIOs, and senior-level leadership?
Tune into this video to find out, wherein our panel of Island experts introduce the Enterprise Browser concept and answer your questions.

The Enterprise Browser Explained: The Evolution of Browsers at Work

Stephen Lowe, CIO of Peak Support—a global business process outsourcer—says of the Island Enterprise Browser, “We went in thinking this is going to reduce risk for us and for our clients. We came out with a revenue-generating, ROI-delivering tool.”
So, what’s the story behind this thought-provoking quote? 
Securing third-party data in the cloud and in web applications becomes increasingly more complex when people who are not your employees access your data and applications to do work on your behalf—a reality with which Lowe and his organization had to contend.
Watch this customer case study to examine Peak Support’s success with Island, achieving higher levels of security control and adding Island to their outsourcing service stack.

Forrester reports that 54% of respondents to their Workforce Survey indicated all of their work can be accomplished on their primary web browser. At the same time, bad actors work to capitalize on broad adoption of these browsers used in the workplace. This creates challenges for even the most advanced endpoint security, remote browser isolation (RBI), and security tools, making it a critical time to think differently about the solution. 
Tad Johnson from Island joins Senior Analyst at Forrester Paddy Harrington to address the browser renaissance, the opportunities and challenges of securing users’ data through the web browser, and an emerging market area—the Enterprise Browser. 
Join the discussion to integrate Johnson’s and Harrington’s insights with your organization’s web security approach:
