Island, Ping Identity Partner on Secure Enterprise Identity Solutions
Island.io, which bills itself as the maker of a secure, enterprise-grade browser, has announced a new integration with Ping Identity to enable verified device access.
The partnership connects Island's browser product with Ping's identity management platform to provide continuous device posture verification for Web applications. According to Island's announcement, this approach helps organizations apply conditional access policies based on device trust without relying on traditional endpoint management tools. The idea is to give organizations another way to address challenges around securing applications accessed via unmanaged or bring-your-own devices.
Both Island and Ping are deeply entrenched in the enterprise IT channel. Ping frequently collaborates with system integrators and MSPs to deliver zero-trust architectures. Meanwhile, Island focuses on partnering with enterprise security vendors and service providers to embed its secure browser into existing security ecosystems, including environments where Microsoft technologies are prevalent.
This collaboration between the two companies reflects a growing trend of combining browser security and identity tools to protect hybrid and remote work environments (see, for example, Google Chrome Enterprise's enhanced security controls in collaboration with Menlo Security).
