Island to open 2nd R&D center in Israel

понедельник, 10. ноября 2025 - 12:28

Israeli cybersecurity startup Island, creator of the Enterprise Browser category, announced it will open a second R&D center in Israel, following a $250 million Series E fundraising round earlier this year that valued the company at approximately $5 billion. The new development center, located in the BIG Glilot tech complex just north of Tel Aviv, will span 900 square meters and is slated to open in November 2025. It will join Island’s existing R&D headquarters in central Tel Aviv and serve as a base for developing next-generation AI and cybersecurity products.

Founded in 2019 by cybersecurity veteran Dan Amiga and former Symantec President Mike Fey, Island has raised $730 million to date from top-tier investors including Sequoia Capital, Insight Partners, Coatue, and Cyberstarts. The company is widely regarded as a pioneer in enterprise-grade browsing solutions, and its platform is already used by over 450 organizations worldwide—including Fortune 100 companies, hospitals, banks and global tech firms.

“The Israeli talent is the best in the world and forms the foundation of Island’s success,” said Dan Amiga, Island’s co-founder and CTO. “The new development center in BIG Glilot provides an attractive and accessible environment that will allow us to grow, attract talent from a broader geographic area, and build groundbreaking technologies in cyber and AI.”

The company also announced it is actively recruiting software engineers, AI specialists, cybersecurity experts, and DevOps professionals as part of its continued global expansion.

Island’s flagship product—the Island Enterprise Browser—offers enterprises a secure, controlled, and productive browsing environment designed for today’s remote and hybrid workforces. Unlike traditional browsers, Island’s solution provides granular control over data flows and user activity, helping companies manage risk without compromising user experience.

With its latest funding and aggressive hiring plans, Island continues to position itself as a leader in the evolving intersection of enterprise productivity and cybersecurity.
