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. 

Over time, the role of the enterprise browser has changed. What began as a platform to enact policies over web apps has steadily evolved into an entire enterprise workspace. While the prevalence of SaaS applications and web clients makes the browser the center of work, a holistic endpoint strategy requires more.

To be the center of work, enterprise browsers need to enable workflows across web and desktop applications, improve user productivity through key tools and customizations, protect sensitive data wherever it exists, and facilitate the adoption of artificial intelligence and AI-powered automations.

Watch this pre-recorded webinar with Paddy Harrington, Senior Analyst at Forrester, and Michael Leland, Field CTO at Island, to learn about the evolution of the enterprise browser.

Paddy Harrington will cover:
  •  Trends in the enterprise browser market
  •  The evolving role of enterprise browsers and the endpoint
  •. How macro-trends, such as artificial intelligence, affect endpoint requirements

Afterward, Michael Leland will cover how the Island Enterprise Browser provides:
  •. Centralized governance across web and desktop applications
  •. Secure adoption of generative AI, complete with consistent data protections
  •. A unified digital workspace that improves productivity

The Evolution of the Enterprise Browser and the Future of the Endpoint

As organizations increasingly leverage browser-based applications, the technical debt tied to delivering these apps through legacy solutions has led to rising costs and a significant share of security incidents. Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) research found that 26% of operating costs are currently attributed to technical debt, leading to IT team dissatisfaction, and 33% of data leakage events involved consumer browsers.  

In this discussion, Senior ESG Analyst of End-user Computing & User Protection Gabe Knuth and Michael Leland, VP & Field CTO at Island, will explore:

• ESG’s research into how enterprise browsers address the issue of technical debt, while enhancing security and simplifying IT infrastructure.
• The limitations of delivering apps via consumer browsers.
• And the tangible benefits of modernizing access methods.

Join us to discover why enterprise browsers are poised to play a critical role in the future of secure app delivery.

The Enterprise Browser Advantage: Reducing Technical Debt in the Age of Browser-Based Apps

What is a browser?
 
It's where we browse the web, right? 
Unless we're at work, then it's our workspace. But is it really? 
The browser was made for consumers, not enterprises. 
So we add all this to it and call it a workspace, even though it's not. 

But what if the browser was built for the enterprise from the start? 

This is Island, the Enterprise Browser. Designed for work from the inside out.

All your apps are right here on your company homepage. 
But did you notice what's not here? 
No agents or proxies, no backhauled traffic, no virtual desktops, no moving parts whatsoever. 

Because everything you need is already inside. 

With Island, you see and secure all browser activity, control how and where your data flows, and optimize your entire workspace without getting in the way of work itself.

Which means call center reps freely access the customer info they need, while the info they don't stays safe by design. 
Contractors just install Island, log in and get to work. No more shipping laptops. 
And remote workers access internal apps on any device, anywhere. So BYOD is actually a thing now. 

But that's just the beginning. 

It can automate your workflows, spot poor performing web apps, help your users do more work without...doing more work, and so much more. 

This is Island. 
In some ways, it's just one small change. 
But sometimes, changing one thing changes everything.
