Island Network Services
SASE that takes a direct path
When you redesign the network for the end user, you backhaul less, route smarter, and see more. That's the perfect packet. That's modern SASE.
The world’s leading enterprises run on Island.

Faster than traditional SASE.
No detours. No downtime.
See everything. Break nothing.
How it works
The perfect packet
Island enforces security at the true edge, in the browser and on the device, so most traffic reaches its destination without proxy detours or universal TLS inspection.
The problem
Secure access is harder than it should be.
The detour tax
Visibility gaps
Operational complexity
The Island Modern SASE
Security, performance, and control at the point of work
Enforce directly where work happens.
Inspection, control, and access moved out of the network and into the browser and device. Most traffic doesn’t require routing. When required, it travels across all major hyperscalers, powered by two network stacks.
- No backhauling for most applications
- No SSL inspection required by default
- Modern protocols, nothing is disabled
Every capability. One control plane.
SWG, ZTNA, CASB, DLP, RBI, DEX all delivered from one control plane, under one policy engine. Deploy incrementally, and see results immediately. No shelfware. No waiting for full rollout to see value.
- Full coverage: browser, endpoint, network
- No rip-and-replace required
- Managed, BYOD, contractors in one policy
Govern AI at the point of intent.
AI workflows are governed with full user, device, and session context, so organizations can enable AI without exposing sensitive data or losing control of what happens next. No binary block decisions that push users toward shadow AI.
- AI enabled without exposing sensitive data
- Govern prompts, outputs, and agentic workflows
- Full audit trail of every AI session
See everything. Act with precision.
Because Island lives in the browser and on the endpoint, it sees not just what moved, but what happened. Clipboard actions, tenant context, prompt intent, and file transfers. It's context network inspection was never able to provide.
- Data lineage from action to destination
- Last-mile data protection and DLP
- VPN replacement without network exposure
Why SASE backhauling falls short for modern work
Direct access by default, backhaul when needed
Architecture isn't a product detail. It's what determines what's actually possible.
Every device is its own service edge.
When the Enterprise Browser and the device is the enforcement point, every employee running Island has their own service edge. That's not 100 PoPs. That's your entire workforce.
If Chrome works, Island works.
No agent troubleshooting. No firewall exceptions. No two-week POC setup. If you can install a browser on a workstation, you can install Island. Most deployments go from zero to protecting Microsoft 365 in under an hour.
Seamless deployment, at any scale.
No traffic rerouting, no certificate gymnastics, no agent sprawl. Island deploys in days across managed devices, unmanaged endpoints, contractors, and third parties without disrupting a single workflow.
Built for how your organization works
FAQ
Yes, because Island network services shares the same policy engine, data protection controls, identity framework, and digital experience monitoring. Every connection automatically inherits unified policy, data protection, DEX monitoring, and AI-aware governance. Island’s zero trust access policy also enforces network-wide data boundaries, session context, and device posture simultaneously without requiring separate consoles, separate rules, or manual coordination between tools.
Yes. Island extends controlled access to IoT and non-user devices through DNS and network-level controls, applied selectively without disrupting the last-mile enforcement model that governs user workflows. This matters because IoT and OT devices can't run browsers or endpoint agents, so they require a different enforcement layer. Island applies the appropriate controls at the network level for these devices while employees, contractors, and partners continue to benefit from the deeper, action-level enforcement that lives in the browser and on the endpoint.
Yes. With Island’s modern SASE capabilities, most user traffic can connect directly to its destination. There are times, though, when an organization may need to provide access to non-internet-facing key resources like internal business tools or private applications, Island Private Access provides zero trust network access to these private apps without VPNs, including both web and desktop clients.
Traditional SASE treats the network as the control point. Island treats the browser and endpoint as the control point, making the network layer faster, simpler, and more precise as a result. Island Network Services incorporates four integrated capabilities: Island Private Access replaces VPN with zero trust access to private applications, enforced per session based on identity and device posture. The Secure Web Gateway applies precision-first web security, only resorting to backhaul and TLS inspection when it is necessary, providing a better end-user experience. Most high-risk sites can be safely rendered locally by disabling risky browser APIs. For websites that need these APIs to function, Remote Browser Isolation engages to safely render the website remotely. And SaaS API security extends visibility and control into cloud platforms beyond live sessions, monitoring files, permissions, and configurations without rerouting traffic.
