Island reported findings from a commissioned Total Economic Impact™ study that estimated a 5,000-worker organization received a 344% return on investment over three years. The study quantified savings tied to an enterprise browser and related security and access features.

Forrester Consulting built the analysis around a composite organization that represented four interviewed Island customers. The model included $500 million in annual revenue and a worker population of 5,000: 1,000 corporate employees, 3,500 customer service agents, and 500 contractors.

The study described an Enterprise Browser designed to combine AI and productivity tools with browser-based capabilities, including AI Browser, VPN-less access, password management, and customized home pages. It also reported that security and access needs associated with VDI, VPNs, Zero Trust network (ZTNA) / traditional secure access service edge (SASE), and endpoint DLP could become redundant, while DLP policies and built-in security counter credential theft, phishing, and malicious browser extensions.

For the composite organization, Forrester estimated $9.7 million in present-value benefits, resulting in $7.5 million net present value after costs for software licensing, internal deployment and administration, and configurations for access policies. “Island pays for itself several times over just from security benefits, legacy tool reduction, or end-user productivity. Combining all of those in one platform transforms how CIOs and CISOs can rethink service delivery and data protection,” said Island CEO and Co-founder Mike Fey. The study was conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Island to assist CIOs and CISOs, and it was described as available in full as of November 2025.
