Ep 3. Island on Enterprise Browsers Solving Data Loss and Unmanaged Devices
Description
Island CEO Mike Fey discusses unmanaged devices and the enterprise browser as the cloud’s successor to Data Loss Prevention (DLP). Paul and Mike discuss how Island’s browser is disrupting the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), and the Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) industries. Paul and Mike debate whether these new browsers can create a secure edge to the cloud by themselves, or not.
Mike explains how Microsoft and Google teaming up on the Chromium open source code base allows Island to easily deploy across any device, and how the web browser can be seen as its own operating system. Mike also explains the central controls Island customers get, including redacting sensitive data onscreen, and geographic regulatory controls.
