DALLAS, Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Island, the agentic control plane for enterprises, is the only vendor to be given a 2026 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Secure Enterprise Browsers recognition. Island has an overall rating of 5.0 out of 5 from 331 verified reviews, more than the next two vendors combined. End users submitted reviews over 18 months, ending in May 2026. Reviews from vendor partners or companies with less than $50 million in revenue are excluded.
Gartner defines secure enterprise browsers (SEBs) as solutions that deliver enterprise security policies and controls through a centrally managed custom web browser, plug-in or browser extension. SEBs provide security and policy enforcement for web, SaaS and private applications, as well as browser hardening delivered through the browser rather than at the endpoint OS or network level.
Island ranked the highest willingness to recommend of any secure enterprise browser vendor, at 98%. Island also scored highest in all four categories Gartner measured: product capabilities, deployment experience, support experience, and sales experience.
Island drew the largest share of large-enterprise reviewers of any vendor in the report. Of those reviewers, 21% came from organizations above $10 billion in annual revenue and 26% from organizations between $1 billion and $10 billion.
“Island’s customers operate with world-class security teams in high-stakes environments and little tolerance for friction,” said Mike Fey, CEO and Co-founder of Island. “Those same customers are true design partners, shaping the product from their first browser deployment to the full agentic workspaces they are beginning to run today. Their reviews, feedback, and growth with Island are the metrics that matter most to us.”
After introducing the Island Enterprise Browser, Island now runs across the full user and agentic workspaces both inside and outside of the browser. The Island Extension covers consumer browsers, Island Desktop covers desktop applications and local agentic resources, and Island Network covers network services, control points for MCP and LLM gateways, APIs, and everywhere work happens for agents.
Universal policies and permissions govern application access, data protection, and identity management to enable enterprise AI for knowledge workers and agents. A user’s or agent’s role, device posture, geolocation, and network conditions establish access rules and protection policies in real time using the same control plane for each.
