Island

The Enterprise Browser’s time is now. Millions of browsers sold, powering entire global enterprises, making brand-new ways of work possible. And we want the rest of the world to know what our customers know. Starting this weekend, you’ll be seeing Island a lot more often — including Saturdays during college football games and on NBC Sunday Night Football. Here’s a sneak peek. Thank you, Island customers. This one’s for you.

Beyond excited to share that Island ranked number 2 on the 2024 LinkedIn Top Startups List in Dallas. All our gratitude to the customers, partners, and investors who’ve believed in our mission from day one. And of course, all of the Islanders who make these types of recognition possible. We’re not looking at this as just a milestone; we see it as proof that the Enterprise Browser is truly transforming how businesses think about security and productivity, one click at a time. Proud to represent Dallas, where innovation, grit, and a strong sense of community fuel everything we do. https://lnkd.in/eQBk2Yqr #LinkedInTopStartups

14-time NASCAR champion team Hendrick Motorsports doesn’t just race cars –?they also race against time, security threats, and data risks. The Enterprise Browser is their secret weapon. When milliseconds matter, a clunky tech stack or a sluggish browser aren’t an option. That’s where Island steps in to cut costs, streamline user experience, consolidate security, and give Hendrick the edge to dominate, whether in the shop or on the track. Want to see how? Join Hendrick Motorsports’ Director of IT, Matthew Cochran, and our own Steve Tchejeyan at Gartner It Symposium/Xpo on 10/22 at 1:45 PM to learn how they’re governing the last mile with Island. The browser ???? the last mile. Don’t get left behind.

Dear VDI –?it's not us, it's you. The truth hurts. ??

Yes, it’s possible for modern organizations to scale security without breaking the bank. Teleperformance CISO, Jeff S., shares how Island helps his team tackle the tough stuff: data loss protection, web access control, the rising costs of VDI, and more. Corporate confidentiality? Check. Streamlined employee access across diverse work environments? Absolutely. Endpoint lifecycles doubled? The Enterprise Browser has been the key to making it happen for Teleperformance. Jeff shares more on how his team is doing more with less.

Windows 10 is sunsetting, and while your reflexive next step might be to upgrade to Windows 11, ask yourself: is there a better option? We’ve been stuck walking on the OS upgrade treadmill for years –?endlessly stepping forward without ever really getting anywhere. But what if you could just step off? We’ve become a cloud-first driven world with remote, hybrid, and BYOD users who want the same experience on any device, anywhere they work. The environment that satisfies all of these isn’t an OS at all; it’s a browser. An enterprise browser + endpoint OS offers a modern, seamless experience without the constant need for upgrades and patches. Plus, it’s a much more cost effective, user friendly alternative to the legacy endpoint technology stack. We’ve already partnered with several endpoint OSes like Stratodesk, IGEL Technology, and Unicon to deliver a new digital workspace reality –? one that looks like the browser users know and love, but comes with built-in security, streamlined endpoint management, an enhanced experience, greater sustainability, and more. Step off that treadmill and step into work’s natural next step. Our SVP Strategic Partnerships Richard Greene shares more in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/eAkPjq4Y

Can’t turn down a reason to celebrate. ? Island was recently recognized on Fast Company’s 2024 Best Workplaces for Innovators list, which honors the top organizations from a variety of industries that demonstrate an inspiring commitment to encourage and develop innovation. But innovation isn’t just a buzzword around here. Innovation is what drives us every single day. Our “Islands of Innovation” model allows each of our teams to operate like an independent startup, free from red tape and hierarchy, driving market research, cutting-edge features, and customer satisfaction at lightning speed. From our forward-thinking product strategies to our vibrant culture, Island is built on a foundation of innovation at every level. Most importantly, this honor is a testament to the incredible work of our team. We’re immensely grateful for the Islanders who continue to make this kind of recognition possible every day. And finally, a huge thank you to our own Caroline Lobo, John Fabbio, and John Guarino for accepting the award (and looking so good doing it) on our behalf in New York City last week. Thank you, Fast Company. Onward & upward.

Generative AI… Friend? Enemy? Both? It’s a question we’ve all been pondering since late 2022, when OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT, and work as we know it completely shifted. Like all transformative technologies, there are a lot of well-founded concerns around gen AI’s governance and safe usage in the workplace. Where does our data go? Who has access to it? Is it realistic or sustainable to avoid AI entirely in the name of data security? We don’t think so. Whether your organization is just getting started with AI or you already have a full-blown AI tech stack, these four tenets of smart AI governance can help keep your org safe.

Solid security, business enablement, OR positive end user experience. For many organizations, the risk of compromising the first two has never been worth prioritizing the third. So they build out complicated, costly tech stacks with the noble goals of protecting their organizations’ biggest assets — the data — and delivering top notch products + services. But end users are constantly being blocked, limited, and disrupted by security. It seemed like that was the tradeoff we had to accept to keep our organizations safe. Until now. Solid data security, business enablement, AND positive end user experience. Bradon Rogers shares more.

A single policy. Configured in the cloud and enforced in the browser. That’s all it takes for Island to prevent data from leaving an application. So now you can: → provide application and data boundaries → keep sensitive data within the confines of predefined enterprise applications → prevent leakage across all means of egress → even mask sensitive data from view on a page until the data is actually needed A better browser is here, and it’s secure by design.
