Overview

The Enterprise Browser from Island is a specialized browser designed for secure, controlled, and seamless web access for external contractors. It eliminates the need for VPNs, VDI, or shipping devices by enabling granular control and visibility directly in the browser. Contractors can download the browser, log in, and immediately access only the apps and data they need—while all actions are logged and governed to prevent data leaks.

Features and Capabilities

• Instant contractor onboarding: Contractors install the browser and log in—no device shipping or complex setup required.
• Granular data controls: Define browser-level policies on copy/paste, downloads, screenshots, and file transfers to prevent leakage.
• Full activity logging: Logs all browser interactions for compliance and real-time integration with SIEM tools.
• Secure authentication: Connects to identity providers for seamless login and enforces device posture before granting access.
• Separation of personal and work environments: Enforces distinct policies to preserve privacy on personal devices.
• Built‑in threat protection: Includes malware inspection, phishing and exploit defenses, man‑in‑the‑browser protection, and document disarmament.
• Zero Trust support: Controls access based on identity, device posture, network, location, and other contextual factors.
• Extends to legacy and internal apps: Can launch web and virtualized apps (e.g., RDP) in secure sessions, reducing VDI reliance.
• Productivity enhancements: Combines access and automation tools so contractors work faster without sacrificing security.
