Island - Browser technology is re-thinking security

How did your company get started?

The company was founded by Mike Fey, Dan Amiga and Brian Kenyon who looked at the current security market and wondered how do we change how we are doing things. It occurred to them that the browser was the one area that the Enterprise didn't control but was the access point for data and applications in the modern workspace. What if we made the browser work for the Enterprise. Sometimes changing one thing changes everything.

Why are you different?

Island has created the world’s first Enterprise browser platform that brings visibility, security and trust into the browser and enhances the end users workspace. But we don't stop there. Island is also focused on increasing productivity and simplifying how work gets done.
