Island, a startup focused on enterprise browsers, recently secured $175 million in new funding. Despite being relatively unknown, the company is now valued at $3 billion and has raised a total of $487 million. Island is emphasizing the importance of browsers in enhancing security for enterprises.

The significant amount of money invested in the company raises questions about what actions or qualities have led to such a high level of funding.

According to Ray Wang, the founder and principal analyst at Constellation Research, Island is creating a new type of enterprise browser that enables employees to work in a familiar setting while also enhancing security measures.

A security-focused browser can lead to cost savings over time. It is important to clearly communicate the return on investment and explain the tangible benefits in a way that is easy to understand and convincing for executives.

Think about the size of the cost savings. One company saved $300 million annually by shutting down racks in a data center because they no longer needed as many resources to run their applications.
