The browser built to simplify higher education IT

Ensure compliance and modernize security with an exceptional user experience for all, from students to staff.

The way forward for colleges and universities

Higher education IT leaders need to manage diverse user groups, stringent regulatory compliance, and the challenges of distributed campuses and remote access. These demands often lead to a patchwork of security and IT tools that are difficult to manage and leave vulnerabilities exposed.

Island, the Enterprise Browser, changes that with robust security, flexibility, and user-friendly upgrades embedded directly into the browser. Whether maintaining GLBA or FERPA compliance, or enabling secure application access for faculty, researchers, and students across campuses and devices, Island simplifies IT management and strengthens security for a safe, modern academic experience.

What happens when higher ed organizations run on an Enterprise Browser?

Provide unified access for everyone in your institution

Support faculty, administrators, researchers, and students alike using role-based policies controlled directly within Island. You can easily tailor access and data controls based on user identity and device posture. Protect sensitive data, demonstrate compliance, govern AI usage and ensure academic integrity, all within the familiar browser experience.

Meet complex regulatory and compliance demands effortlessly

Protecting sensitive data like student records, financial information, and health records isn't just important—it's mandatory. Island simplifies compliance with strong data protection and security policies: dynamic copy/paste, print, and download restrictions, location-based policies to ensure data sovereignty, and granular activity logs.

Enable secure access across distributed campuses and remote environments

With Island, colleges and universities can provide access to users working or learning on campus or off site, without sacrificing performance or security. Replace VPNs and legacy access models with zero trust-based security, make BYOD programs a reality with isolated, policy-driven access to academic resources, and reduce reliance on costly hardware and networking tools.
