Island Network Services
SASE redefined for the AI era
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. No detours. No blind spots.
Of AI session are governed by identity device and context
Sessions go direct. No backhaul, no proxy.
Deployment to managed and unmanaged devices
Faster application access when traffic takes the direct path
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
Your work lives in applications. But today, your security lives in a cloud proxy three hops away.
The detour tax
Every session backhauled, decrypted, re-encrypted. Users feel the latency and friction. As post-quantum TLS advances, break-and-inspect becomes impossible to sustain.
Visibility gap
Only 40% of traffic gets inspected. The rest is invisible; no user actions, no context, no AI usage. Agents call tools, access MCPs, and operate at scale outside the proxy's control.
Operational complexity
Fragmented stacks, inconsistent enforcement, long deployments. When the security stack is a path to every app, one outage takes down everything.
The Solution
The Island Modern SASE
Modern Architecture
Enforce directly where work happens
Inspection, control, and access moved out of the network and into the browser and device. Only the fraction of traffic that requires routing is sent 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, all is visible
Full SASE Capabilities
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, without shelfware or waiting for the full roll out to see value.
- Full coverage: browser, endpoint, network
- No rip-and-replace required
- Managed, BYOD, contractors in one policy
AI Enablement
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’s done with it. 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
Presentation-layer control
See everything. Act with precision
Because Island lives in the browser and on the endpoint, it sees not just packets, but what happened; clipboard actions, tenant context, prompt intent, file transfers. 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
SASE Components
Enforcement where work happens
Deliver Zero Trust access to private applications without VPNs or exposed networks.
Provide precision-first web security without default backhaul or forced TLS inspection.
Apply native controls inline by default. Invoke cloud RBI only for high-risk or unknown sites.
Extend visibility into SaaS apps where data lives via native APIs without rerouting traffic.
Define data boundaries, see how information moves, and stop sensitive data from leaving.
Govern prompts, outputs, and agentic workflows at the point of interaction, not at the network.
Gain real-time visibility into employee experience across apps, network, and device health.

Simple to deploy. Built to scale.
Architecture isn't a product detail. It's what determines what's actually possible.No agents. No rerouting. No rip-and-replace.
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
Empower Distributed Work
Enable Zero Trust access to private apps without tunnels or network exposure. Users connect per session, per app, without joining the network.
Govern AI Workflows
Control prompts, uploads, outputs, and agent activity at the moment of interaction. Full auditability, no binary block decisions.
Empower Distributed Work
Provide consistent enforcement for employees, contractors, and partners anywhere. One policy, every user type, every device.
Control Web & SaaS
Enforce policy in the browser without default backhaul or blanket TLS inspection. Backhaul occurs only when inspection adds value.
Enable BYOD Access
Grant controlled access from unmanaged devices without MDM, VDI, or heavy agents. Security travels with the session, not the device.
Protect IoT & OT
Apply network-level controls to non-user devices without disrupting user traffic. Baseline protection for devices that can't run a browser or agent.
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.
