Summary
Most organizations face an endlessly complicated challenge that stems from a simple need – how can we ensure our contractors and employees have easy access to our network, data, and cloud-based applications without compromising our security?
To solve this, business leaders often rely on an expensive mix of unique security and ease-of-access solutions to create a workable environment.
With the number of tools the modern team uses, this patchwork approach introduces obvious dilemmas:
- SaaS and internal web apps have unique security considerations that we need to add tech to address – leading to expansive and unwieldy environments.
- Adding 3rd-party BPO or contractor access is costly and arduous, slowing productivity and limiting how employees can work.
- Operating many tools leads to higher recurring costs.
- A tremendous amount of documentation and internal knowledge is needed to understand a complicated tech stack.
All of these issues stem from one glaring problem – the consumer web browser. Think about the multitude of controls distributed throughout your environment that you need just to secure the browser.
Your users need the browser to do their jobs, but it was never intended for the enterprise.
What if it was?
What is an enterprise browser?
Inflection Point Technologies partners with Island to offer a paradigm-shifting solution that allows users to work freely while remaining fundamentally secure – the enterprise browser.
Our browser is integrated completely into your enterprise so you can control how it behaves in every scenario, eliminating the need for a complicated, expensive tech stack. Everything is handled within the browser.
Instead of securing every individual web app and device, you simply secure the browser—the last mile of zero trust—enabling you and your team to work safely and efficiently from any device, anywhere, using any service.
How does it work?
Think of the enterprise browser as the island of Manhattan. All of your critical resources are inside, and the only way to get to them is through the browser.
The enterprise browser is deployed on your endpoints and provides user and posture assessment and local enforcement of your user engagement policies. This is a fundamentally different approach, as you’re now gating all of your data behind the browser.
The only way to get to the data is through the browser, which knows who you are, how you’re accessing it, and has application-level awareness that controls what you can click or see.
You’ve pushed security controls down to where the user is working – the browser.
Control user behavior and secure your data
The enterprise browser allows you to set extremely granular rules for how applications are used and data is managed across your organization. You determine exactly how data can be moved, setting boundaries that apply to all users, devices, applications, networks, locations, and assets so your users can work freely without worrying about accidental leaks.
Using a cloud-based platform where you can manage policy, integration with your ecosystem, and view forensic logging reports. You set the parameters for everything—behavior, visibility, security protocols, reporting, and ease-of-access features— all from one place.
See everything, always
The enterprise browser monitors and logs every interaction according to rules you set, allowing you get at-a-glance information on everything happening across your workforce and even trace incidents down to the keystroke or click. Easy-to-implement visibility settings let you determine what counts as a trackable action and what should remain private to the user, giving your employees and contractors peace of mind as they work.
Automatically secure any device or application
Zero trust by design, consider the enterprise browser your last-mile protection. With user authentication, and applications all set at the browser level, users can work on any device from any location without compromising your security. And users can browse fully protected, knowing that the enterprise browser comes standard with native browser isolation, auto-phishing protection, web filtering, and more.
Give your team the ideal end-user experience
The enterprise browser can streamline your organizations security stack, but how does it feel for the end-user? Exactly the same as any standard browser. Island is built on Chromium, the most widely use standard in modern browsing, so it looks, feels, and behaves exactly how your users expect across any device or operating system. Status indicators and notifications help keep everyone on your team aware of exactly which security protocols are in place while they browser, and there’s never anything to patch or update, giving you complete peace of mind.
Supercharge your workforce with built-in efficiencies
The enterprise browser goes beyond security and empowers your team to work faster through powerful productivity features. Custom browser automations let you create custom workflows tied to your web apps. Features like smart clipboard manager, screen capture, and personalized shortcuts help speed up and simplify your users’ work. And single sign-on eliminates the need for slow, cumbersome authentication checkpoints at the application or network level – one sign-in, and your users have access to all the apps and resources they need.
Is it enterprise-ready out of the box?
Your enterprise browser will be configured 100% to your needs, with dozens of enterprise-level considerations in place:
- Completely manageable from your own console (no need to contact an external IT team).
- Self-patching, so you never need to worry about updating.
- Built on Chromium, making it 100% compatible with today’s web.
- Built-in legacy mode for Internet Explorer-based applications.
