Island raises $400 million at $6.4 billion valuation

The company plans to grow its workforce from 1,000 to 1,500 employees by the middle of next year. Island’s customer list now includes Pfizer, Chipotle, American Airlines and several major banks. The firm is best known for its enterprise browser that lets businesses monitor and control browser activity, a feature that has become increasingly important as AI‑driven attacks—such as OpenAI’s agent‑orchestrated assault on Hugging Face—have highlighted the need for stronger security.

Island faces competition from established players like Palo Alto Networks and a growing number of startups, but it argues that its simple, secure platform will appeal to companies looking to streamline tools and protect future workforces.
