Island Makes AI Work for the Enterprise

Island delivers new AI security, agentic controls, and AI publishing capabilities to enable enterprise AI at scale

DALLAS: Island, the platform for enterprise work, rolled out new Enterprise AI offerings today to help organizations adopt and scale AI with the visibility and control enterprise environments require. As generative AI, AI browsers, and autonomous agents flood the workplace, Island brings the enterprise controls they’re missing: identity, data protection, auditability, availability, centralized policy, and digital experience.

As organizations race to put the power of AI into the hands of their workforce, the question is no longer whether to enable it-but how. The path forward demands an approach that embeds security, governance, and access directly into the experience, rather than forcing AI through legacy paradigms of backhauling traffic, breaking and inspecting SSL, streaming pixels through VDI, or deploying heavyweight agents that restrict how people actually work.

These approaches weren't built for the AI generation. The right solution must do as much to empower as it does to protect users and the organization. For example, Gartner warns that through 2026, 80% of unauthorized AI transactions will stem from internal policy violations-such as information oversharing-rather than malicious external attacks.

Designed for individual productivity rather than enterprise workflows, traditional AI tools lack the structural controls to apply policy before data leaves the organization. This leaves IT leaders in an impossible position: sacrifice security for speed or halt the rollout of the high-value, agentic AI necessary to remain competitive.

“Today’s AI delivers power without guardrails. Without visibility and governance, advantage quickly turns into exposure,” said Island CTO and Co-founder Dan Amiga. “Island makes AI enterprise‑ready, securing it in the browser, in AI apps, and across the desktop.”

The new offerings run on the Island Enterprise Platform, providing a single environment to manage and secure all enterprise AI.

• AI Protect enables safe use of any AI application - consumer or enterprise - without risking corporate data. It unifies AI visibility and governance, enforcing guardrails across web AI tools, desktop apps, extensions, and connectors. Island distinguishes corporate and personal tenants, enforces data boundaries before data reaches AI providers and captures detailed audit logs of prompts, responses, and agent activity. Browser-level controls combat prompt injection and risky extensions.
• AI Browser embeds AI capabilities into the Island Enterprise Browser, where employees already work. Organizations can integrate multiple AI providers, including frontier and AI-enabled corporate data (via RAG), into a governed enterprise chat experience. Companies can enrich AI interactions with enterprise context such as user role, application content, and approved company knowledge, while remaining under centralized policy and data protection controls. Enterprises can measure time saved with visibility into AI usage, costs, agent performance, and organization-wide productivity gains.
• AI Automation enables teams to build and run on-demand agents that operate at machine speed across enterprise applications with defined permissions and full audit trails. Admins set controls over application access, permitted actions, and human approvals. Agents execute within a hardened browser environment designed to reduce exposure to prompt injection and misuse.
• AI Publish lets organizations deploy internally developed AI applications in accordance with enterprise security and governance requirements. Published applications inherit identity enforcement, data protection, monitoring, and policy controls from the Island platform, giving every application creator the power to safely build and share apps without sacrificing the speed brought forth by modern AI development resources.

A unified foundation for AI at work

Island AI Services unite AI access, security, automation, and publishing for easy management and governance. CIOs and CISOs can safely enable AI across the enterprise with the visibility and control to scale it responsibly.

“Island gives us the visibility into how our people use AI, the data to allow us to make key decisions, controls to scale it responsibly, and the ability to connect every team to the right AI, for the right purpose, at the moment they need it,” said Paul Hennessy, Global CISO at dentsu. “Island has enabled us to bring the future of work to our people.”

“With great power comes great vulnerability. As AI evolves to interact with workers all day long, governance gaps will expand unless CIOs and CISOs can convert consumer AI into enterprise-grade AI,” said Amiga. “Island scales both productivity and protection, giving organizations the guardrails and the gas pedal to safely accelerate AI adoption.”
