Island Enterprise Browser

Identity, data, and session controls applied where the work actually happens: the browser. The platform behind our enterprise-browser practice.

Most enterprise security tooling sits at the wrong layer. Endpoint agents miss SaaS. Network gateways miss the cloud. VPN and VDI add cost and friction for a workforce that no longer fits the corporate laptop. The browser is where contractors, partners, and employees actually work. The browser is where the control plane belongs.

Consumer browsers were never built for the enterprise. To compensate, organisations wrap them in a sprawling stack: secure web gateways, cloud proxies, CASBs, DLP, sandboxes, VDI, ZTNA brokers, and an army of endpoint agents. The cost compounds, the gaps remain, and the user experience degrades. An enterprise browser collapses most of that stack into the runtime where the work actually happens.

Capabilities

What the Browser Controls

A policy enforcement point that already knows the identity, the session, and the data.

Last-Mile Data Controls

Copy, paste, download, screenshot, watermark, and print controls applied at the browser. The data-loss prevention layer that lives where the data is actually used, not in a network appliance miles away from the user.

Session Recording & Visibility

Full session capture, screenshot timelines, and forensics-grade activity logs for high-risk applications and privileged users. Audit-ready evidence without invasive endpoint agents.

Identity-Aware Access

Posture and identity signals enforced at the browser. Bind sessions to verified identity, device trust, geography, and identity provider policy. Replace fragile VPN and VDI patterns with a browser that already knows who the user is.

Unmanaged Workforce Enablement

Contractors, partners, M&A acquired staff, and BYOD users get a controlled browser instead of a corporate laptop. No imaging, no MDM, no shipping hardware. Provision in minutes, revoke in seconds.

SaaS & GenAI Governance

Prevent prompt injection of sensitive data into public LLMs, control file uploads to unsanctioned SaaS, and enforce DLP across the long tail of cloud apps that endpoint and network tools never reach.

Browser-Native Zero Trust

Every request, every tab, every download evaluated against policy in real time. The browser becomes the policy enforcement point, not the network. Less infrastructure, fewer detours, stronger posture.

Safe Browsing & Threat Protection

Phishing blocking, malware inspection, document disarmament, browser isolation, anti-tampering, anti-keylogger, and continuous device-posture evaluation built into the runtime. Web-borne threats are neutralised in the browser before they reach the endpoint.

Audit & Forensic Logging

Application-level audit logs, click-and-keystroke timelines for sensitive workflows, and real-time streaming to your SIEM. Visibility without SSL break-and-inspect or network traffic manipulation, and without recording personal browsing.

Use Cases

Where It Pays Off Fast

High-value workloads where the enterprise browser replaces a heavier, slower control.

Contractor & Third-Party Access

Replace VDI and managed-laptop programs with a downloadable browser. Contractors keep their own device; you keep control of the data and the session.

M&A Day-One Access

Acquired-entity users get controlled access to the new parent's applications before directories, devices, or networks are merged. The browser bridges the integration gap.

Privileged & High-Risk Roles

Finance, HR, legal, and admin consoles wrapped in session recording, copy-paste controls, and step-up authentication. The audit trail comes for free.

BYOD Without the Compromise

Employees on personal devices get a managed work surface that does not touch the rest of the machine. No agent on a personal laptop, no exposed corporate data.

VDI Reduction

Retire the virtual-desktop estate for the populations that only ever used it to reach SaaS and internal web apps. The browser delivers the same control surface with native performance and a fraction of the licence and operational cost.

GenAI Governance

Govern which AI assistants users can reach, what data can leave the browser into them, and what arrives back. Visibility into AI usage across the workforce, with prompt and file controls applied at the moment of interaction, not on a quarterly review.

Service Access Restoration

A pre-built recovery path when the primary access stack is compromised or offline. Users open the browser, sign in, and reach critical applications while the response team rebuilds the rest of the estate.

Approach

How We Engage

Deploying an enterprise browser is not a swap-the-icon exercise. Done well, it reshapes how identity, data, and session policy are enforced across the organization. Done poorly, it becomes another tool with a dashboard that nobody owns. We treat the browser as a first-class component of the identity control plane, designed and governed alongside Okta and your data-protection strategy.

Our engagements start with the workloads that justify the platform: the contractor population, the privileged consoles, the M&A pipeline, the SaaS apps your endpoint tools cannot see. We design the policy model, integrate with Okta and your SIEM, and roll out in waves so adoption holds without help-desk pain.

Operationally, we own the standard. Policy templates, session review cadence, exception handling, and continuous tuning are documented and run by named architects. Your team inherits a platform they can evolve, not a shelfware deployment.

Deployment

From Decision to Policy in Days

Enterprise browser rollouts do not need months of infrastructure work. The deployment path is short and predictable, and value compounds with each policy wave.

Connect identity

Federate the browser to Okta or your IdP via SAML and SCIM. The browser inherits identity assurance, lifecycle, and conditional access from day one.

Deploy to users

Self-service download for BYOD and contractors, or push via MDM for managed fleets. Install completes in minutes per device.

Land first workload

Pick one population and one outcome — typically third-party access, a privileged console, or a high-risk SaaS estate. Policy and audit go live in days.

Expand by use case

Layer additional populations and policies in waves: VDI reduction, GenAI governance, M&A onboarding, DR access. Each wave reuses the same control plane.

Platform

Island, the Enterprise Browser

ATLAS Apex partners with Island to deliver enterprise browser deployments. Island provides a Chromium-based browser with built-in identity integration, data-loss controls, session recording, and policy enforcement. We design the architecture, integrate it with your identity stack, and run the platform as part of our identity control-plane practice.
