Traditional zero trust architectures rely on multiple point solutions - endpoint agents, web portals, and VPNs - to compensate for using consumer browsers in enterprise environments. The Enterprise Browser provides organizations with secure access to any app or resource on any public or private network from inside the browser itself. Existing zero trust architecture is augmented by granular, deeply embedded last-mile controls, completing the zero trust framework in a way that wasn't possible before Island - Enterprise Browser - Digital Marketplace. Island doesn't replace your existing zero trust infrastructure; it completes it by securing the critical last mile where users actually interact with data and applications.

Yes. The Island Enterprise Browser seamlessly integrates with existing Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) technologies, bringing the benefits of Island's unique last-mile controls to the endpoint while preserving existing ZTNA investments. You can maintain your current ZTNA providers while Island extends zero trust principles to browser-based applications. Additionally, Island Private Access offers a complete ZTNA solution for organizations wanting to simplify their architecture.

Unlike alternative private access solutions requiring endpoint agents and other complex infrastructure, Island Private Access works natively with the Enterprise Browser to simplify secure access while improving user experience and productivity. This does not require agents, VPNs, web portals, or end-user configuration. Contractors simply install the Island browser, authenticate with their credentials, and gain access to only the applications and resources they're authorized to use - all with comprehensive zero trust verification happening transparently.

Island implements "never trust, always verify" at the point where users actually interact with data. At its core, Island’s zero trust works by evaluating user identity, device posture, and contextual signals such as geolocation and network type before granting access. Each access request is independently verified. Island goes beyond network-level verification to provide continuous verification of user actions, data interactions, and application boundaries, assessing user identity, device posture, network context, application tenancy, and user behavior in real-time to make dynamic access decisions.

Traditional ZTNA secures network access but leaves a gap at the point where users interact with data. For organizations who have implemented a ZTNA solution, the Island Enterprise Browser makes an ideal complementing technology that extends the zero trust model beyond the network through the last mile. Island provides granular controls over data movement, copy/paste actions, downloads, screenshots, and application boundaries that traditional ZTNA cannot monitor or control, ensuring zero trust extends to every user interaction.

Yes, Island provides unified zero trust access across all web-based applications. Island Private Access offers a second deployment option for the Island Enterprise Browser to support seamless access to private web applications and semi-private SaaS applications. Contractors and employees use the same browser interface to securely access your internal web applications, private cloud resources, and SaaS platforms like Salesforce or Workday, with consistent zero trust policies applied across all environments.

Island provides context-aware zero trust that adapts policies based on real-time conditions. Using its contextual information, Island can decide which applications are made available to the user, the permissiveness (least privilege) within an application, how data should be protected, and the applicability of security features. Island continuously evaluates user context, device posture, network location, application type, and data sensitivity to dynamically adjust access permissions and security controls throughout each session.

Island offers comprehensive visibility into all user interactions for zero trust auditing. Island provides you with full visibility into all actions taken within the application being accessed via the browser, not only does this include traditional metrics like navigation, URL's visited, etc. but we can also show you where the user clicked in an application, with screenshots and even record keystrokes if required. This granular audit trail supports zero trust compliance by providing detailed evidence of who accessed what data, when, from where, and what actions they performed.

Island's cloud-native architecture supports global zero trust deployments with regional flexibility. Island Private Access Connectors are lightweight virtual machines that are easily deployed within a private cloud or data center to enable secure remote access. You can deploy connectors in multiple regions to ensure optimal performance while maintaining consistent zero trust policies globally. Island's application boundaries can distinguish between different tenancies and compliance requirements, ensuring contractors in different regions receive appropriate access levels while maintaining audit trails for regulatory compliance.
