FROST & SULLIVAN NAMES ISLAND THE MARKET LEADER IN ZERO TRUST BROWSER SECURITY

Tad Johnson
•
Dec 22, 2023

Frost & Sullivan recently published the Frost RadarTM for Zero Trust Browser
Security and named Island "the evident growth and innovation leader."

This independent third-party recognition comes at an important moment in the
growth of the Enterprise Browser market. In a little over three years, Island
went from the idea of the Enterprise Browser to a $1.5 billion company with over
2 million browsers sold. Island's pioneering innovation helped usher in this new
market category with more than a dozen vendors offering some version of an
Enterprise Browser. Clearly, this demonstrates a previously unmet need within
the enterprise technology landscape. To better understand the Enterprise Browser
and why Island is the evident Frost Radar leader, let's zoom out and track how
we got here.


SECURITY

The Frost Radar primarily focused on the security dimension of the Enterprise
Browser. In their research, they define zero-trust browser security (ZTBS) as
follows:

“A zero-trust browser security (ZTBS) solution package offers data loss
protection (DLP), sandboxing, and malware scanning capabilities to prevent
phishing attacks and inadvertent or intentional data leakage.” 


Creating a secure enterprise workspace is a primary motivation for CISOs
adopting the Enterprise Browser. The web browser holds a unique position in the
context of cybersecurity: it's most often the first link in a cybersecurity
attack. As noted in the Frost Radar, "browsers provide the initial foothold for
cyber adversaries. As the frequency and complexity of web-based attacks grow,
the need to secure the browser attack surface increases." Until now, enterprises
addressed browser security by adding tools and technologies adjacent to the
browser — secure web gateways, endpoint agents, virtualization layers, etc. With
Island's innovation of the Enterprise Browser, the ever-important security layer
moves to where it's needed most: within the browser itself.


BUSINESS ENABLEMENT

Good cybersecurity is essential for any enterprise business, but it's only part
of a CIO's responsibility. The larger challenge facing every CIO is how to best
enable the business with technology. Over the past two decades, enterprise
technology went through a massive realignment as traditional software moved to
SaaS and data moved to the cloud. This mega-trend ushered in significant
improvements in IT efficiency and capabilities. Today, we are in the beginning
stage of another mega-trend with the commercialization of general purpose
artificial intelligence. The future is yet unwritten, but it's reasonable to
assume that AI presents another monumental technological shift, arguably larger
than SaaS. 


CIOs are tasked with simultaneously managing the operational needs of the
business while preparing for the next wave of technology change. Here, the
Enterprise Browser serves as a key enabling technology. In both of the
mega-trends mentioned above, the browser sits at the intersection between users,
applications, and data. With most — or for some businesses, all — applications
moving to SaaS and cloud platforms, the Enterprise Browser is the ideal layer in
the tech stack to manage access, user enablement, and enterprise visibility. As
organizations embrace AI, most of these workflows will similarly flow through
the browser.


As Frost observed in the Radar,

“The [Enterprise Browser] platform also enables real-time last-mile controls at
the presentation layer because policy computation and enforcement happen locally
rather than on the cloud.” 


Shifting from a general purpose consumer browser to the Enterprise Browser gives
CIOs the point of leverage to optimize and enable the workflows and applications
that drive the business.


PRODUCTIVITY & USER EXPERIENCE

Selecting the right tools and technologies is crucial for successful business
operations. But that’s only part of it. The employees and other users of those
systems require a workspace that promotes productivity and delivers a good user
experience. As outlined above, that workspace is increasingly delivered through
a browser. Because most enterprises were previously relying on a general purpose
browser designed for consumers, they were forced to surround it with a range of
access and security solutions that hindered the user experience. The Enterprise
Browser offers a new approach where the workspace is optimized for security and
productivity.


In their research, Frost identified:

“Legacy VDI, VPN, and DaaS tools do not adequately support new forms of remote
and hybrid work connectivity and end up delivering inefficient workflows and
unintuitive user interfaces. Such challenges promote the adoption of modern and
user-friendly ZTBS solutions.”


It's rare for a solution that addresses the security objectives of a CISO, and
the business objectives of a CIO, to simultaneously deliver end-user
productivity benefits and real user experience improvements. But it's precisely
this distinction that sets Island, the Enterprise Browser, apart and enables our
rapid adoption and growth. Island is honored to be recognized by Frost &
Sullivan as the clear leader in zero trust browser security. More importantly,
Island is proud to deliver the Enterprise Browser as the ideal workspace that
improves security, business enablement, and user productivity for millions of
people every day.
