Partner Spotlight: Island
Company Overview
Island developed the world's first enterprise browser, embedding security, governance, and productivity controls directly into a familiar Chromium-based browsing experience for organizations. The company has established traction across every major vertical and organization size, from Fortune 1000 enterprises to small and midmarket companies, government agencies, and higher education institutions.
What sets Island apart is architectural, not incremental: security is not bolted on as an overlay or extension, but rather embedded at the browser layer itself, giving IT and security teams direct control over data movement, user behaviour, and application access without requiring separate endpoint agents or proxies.
Security Solutions and Services
Island's portfolio has expanded from a single product into a full platform. The Island Enterprise Platform provides a fully integrated suite of Enterprise Computing Services: the Enterprise Browser embeds IT, security, and productivity needs into the browser itself; the Extension enhances consumer browsers with enterprise capabilities; Island Desktop extends policies to native desktop applications; AI Services enable safe adoption of AI tools while protecting data at the moment of use; and Network Services redefine Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) delivery.
This addresses a well-documented gap: more than 1 in 3 sensitive data leaks now involve a consumer browser. By consolidating controls, a lot of legacy bolt-on tools become obsolete for customers rethinking their security stack.
Customer Success Story
A global specialty chemicals company, turned to Island to secure thousands of employees across SaaS and internal applications without slowing the business down. As their CISO put it: "A browser built for the enterprise can fundamentally change the industry, empowering us to reimagine how we approach our use cases with tremendous power yet elegant simplicity."
The measurable impact scales well beyond a single account. An independent 2025 Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ study found that a composite organization experiences benefits of $9.7 million over three years versus costs of $2.2 million, adding up to a net present value of $7.5 million and an ROI of 344%. The same research found the composite organization saved one year of productivity for every 40 employees per year.
Industry Expertise and Innovation
Island's founders bring deep security pedigree: co-founder and CEO Mike Fey was previously president and COO at Symantec and GM and CTO of McAfee, while co-founder and CTO Dan Amiga is the inventor of web isolation technology and previously founder and CTO of Fireglass. That background shapes Island's philosophy on emerging tech: rather than blocking AI out of fear, AI Services enable safe adoption of AI tools while protecting data at the moment of use, overcoming barriers that currently limit enterprise AI adoption and force users to go rogue.
Future Vision
Analysts see the enterprise browser becoming foundational infrastructure. A 2023 Gartner report predicted that 25% of enterprises will use managed browsers or extensions by 2026, and by 2030 enterprise browsers will be the core platform for delivering workforce productivity and security software for a seamless hybrid work experience. Island's own view of this shift: the Enterprise Platform governs work at the presentation layer — across browsers and desktops — to safely enable generative and agentic AI while maintaining full visibility and control. As CEO Mike Fey notes, "knowledge workers can gain AI superpowers, but only if the workspace stops slowing, blocking, and shutting off AI tools for fear of misuse. The sooner that organizations can empower workers safely, the sooner they can fully embrace AI and the future of enterprise work."
