Browser Security
Island Enterprise Browser
Chromium enterprise browser with embedded DLP, ZTNA, and conditional app access controls.
Island Enterprise Browser Overview
What it does
Island Enterprise Browser is a Secure Enterprise Browser (SEB) built on Chromium that embeds security, access control, and productivity features directly in the browsing session. Organizations can deploy a full Island browser or a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, and other Chromium-based browsers, allowing users to keep familiar browsers while IT applies policy at the last mile where data is viewed, copied, downloaded, or shared.
How it works
Administrators configure conditional application access based on identity, device posture, network, location, and application context, then enforce Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to private web apps without separate VPN agents where Island Private Access is used. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls govern downloads, uploads, copy/paste, printing, and screenshots, including outside the browser for supported desktop apps. The product also supports privileged access workflows with step-up authentication and session recording, web threat blocking, user behavior analytics exportable to SIEM tools, built-in password management, application workflow automation, and work/personal browsing separation with privacy indicators.
Credentials and traction
Island holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications for its Enterprise Browser. GigaOm names Island a Leader and Outperformer in its Radar for Secure Enterprise Browsing, and Frost & Sullivan recognized Island as the growth and innovation leader in its 2023 Frost Radar for Zero Trust Browser Security. Island has appeared on the Forbes Cloud 100 (2024 and 2025), the Fortune Cyber 60 (2023 through 2025), and the CNBC Disruptor 50 (2026). Named users include Pfizer, Swiss Life, Carta, and Mattress Firm.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesSecures application access from unmanaged personal and contractor devices without MDM enrollment or an endpoint agent, enforcing data controls inside the browser session rather than on the device.
Enforces per-application policies on clipboard copy, file download, printing, and screenshot within browser sessions, applied at the application level without endpoint agent requirements.
Renders web content in an isolated execution environment (either locally sandboxed or remotely in a cloud browser) preventing malicious page content from reaching the endpoint OS.
Provides clientless access to internal web applications through a reverse proxy or embedded ZTNA client, replacing VPN for web application access.
Records and stores browser sessions for configured applications for audit, compliance, and insider threat investigation purposes.
Restricts browser extension installation to an approved list, preventing credential-harvesting, session-hijacking, and keylogger extensions from running within managed browser sessions.
Extends SSO authentication enforcement to apps that don't support SAML/OIDC natively, using a browser extension to intercept and govern login events for shadow IT and unmanaged SaaS that are invisible to the corporate IdP.
Governs how employees use GenAI tools in the browser, restricting which AI sites are allowed and preventing sensitive data from being pasted or uploaded into chatbots and AI assistants.
Protects web browsing with malware protection and URL filtering.
