The Solution
Richard's fundamentals are plain: know who is doing what, with what, and where. With the right observability, you can weigh the real risk and place controls where they actually matter.
Most of that activity runs through the browser. It's the common interface between the workforce and the tools they reach for, approved or not. Enforce identity there and you have a foothold. Watch the interactions and you learn the real patterns. Then you can act.
The Island Enterprise Browser gives Richard all of that in one place. People keep the browser they already know, so the rollout stays close to invisible. Behind it, the security team gets identity enforcement, visibility into every tool in use, and controls it can apply surgically instead of to everyone at once. This allows them to test and learn, then tighten only where the risk warrants it.
With Island, the team can:
- Enforce identity at the point where work happens
- See which tools the workforce uses, approved or not
- Apply controls surgically, without disrupting everyone at once
- Bring credentials under control to cut account-takeover risk
- Add AI and agentic automation to services that lack it natively
The product solves more than the problem that first brought Richard to it, the way a good multi-tool does. And the engineering and sales teams stay close, turning feature requests around quickly rather than pointing at a roadmap.
