“Pairing the secure IGEL OS with the Island Enterprise Browser offers a uniquely secure endpoint solution for modern enterprises,” said Jim Airdo, senior vice president, strategic alliances at IGEL. “Island Enterprise Browser delivers unique data protections and security controls to elevate zero trust access without impacting workflow performance. Island, which is now available to IGEL users for simplified download from the IGEL App Portal, extends endpoint security and integrates seamlessly into the IGEL Preventative Security Model™.”

“IGEL OS users around the world can now have the best enterprise browser experience,” said Richard Greene, senior vice president, strategic partnerships at Island. “Like Island, IGEL takes an innovative approach to providing a secure, productive enterprise workspace. Our partnership gives enterprises new ways to govern application access and how and whether data moves between applications. It is the ideal combination to elevate an enterprise’s security posture by removing layers of security complexity, management and maintenance.”

IGEL OS reduces the endpoint attack surface by up to 95% and delivers the IGEL Preventative Security Model™, which eliminates the vulnerabilities bad actors target and significantly reduces malware and ransomware threats on the endpoint.

Complementing the IGEL Preventative Security Model™, Island’s Enterprise Browser is a Chromium-based web browser that offers fast performance, a familiar interface and full compatibility while also adding unique data protections, access controls and a robust security policy framework. Users benefit from productivity gains via streamlined access to their applications while IT and security teams get all the controls and security protections they require to defend their environments.
