Island won Best Secure Access Service Edge in the 2026 Cybersecurity Stars Awards by The Hacker News. Traditional SASE was built on one assumption: intercept threats at the perimeter. Agents invalidated it. Work happens as much inside the device as on the network. People and AI agents make tool calls and MCP connections that span both. As The Hacker News said, “Island has built a modern approach to secure access that moves security controls closer to where work actually happens, whether that's inside browsers, SaaS applications, or AI tools. We appreciate their willingness to reconsider how security architecture should work in today's environment." Thank you to our teams, customers, and partners for helping us define Modern SASE for the AI-driven enterprise.
